Health Minister Kumari Arti Rao and Member of Parliament Naveen Jindal were also present on the stage. “Doing yoga under the guidance of Yoga Guru Swami Ramdev made this day more special. When every person joins yoga, all diseases go away,” the Chief Minister said. An official spokesperson said yoga programmes saw participation of over 20 lakh in all 22 districts and 121 blocks of the state.
As part of the ‘Harit Yoga’ campaign to promote environmental awareness, more than 70,000 saplings have already been planted. Notably, in 2014, Prime Minister Modi introduced yoga on the global stage at the United Nations General Assembly.
With support from 177 countries, June 21 has been declared International Day of Yoga, through which India offered the world a path of peace, health, and harmony. This year’s Yoga Day theme highlighted yoga’s role in promoting physical, mental, and environmental well-being and aligned with the global call for unity and sustainability.
