Patients in Jamnagar Provided Music Therapy
An unconventional method of playing therapeutic music at bedsides of the patients for their speedy recovery and rehabilitation has been adopted by a government hospital in Jamnagar.

Officials of the Ashva Training School said that by listening to music, horses feel relaxed; they then eat well and remain fit and healthy.

"Music is such a thing that it not only soothes humans, but also animals. So we play music for our horses while they have their meals. By doing this, the horses stay in the stable only, and remain fine," said Ramesh Singh, an official of the Border Security Force's horse training school.

He added that when the riders are not there, the horses feel lonely and music helps them to cope.
