Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the main event marking the International Day of Yoga celebrations in Srinagar on June 21, AYUSH Minister Prataprao Jadhav said here on Tuesday.
The main celebrations this year will be held at the Sheri-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) in Srinagar in Kashmir Valley.
Jadhav, the Minister of State for Ayush (independent charge), said this year’s theme ‘Yoga for Self and Society’ highlights yoga’s dual role in fostering individual and societal wellbeing. It underlines promoting the connection between the inner self and the outer world going beyond one’s own wellbeing, Jadhav said.
“Yoga nurtures physical, mental, and spiritual growth while promoting societal harmony. The enthusiastic participation of millions in recent years reflects the profound impact of yoga on communities,” the minister said.
He also announced that the PM has written to each gram pradhan, encouraging grassroots participation and the spread of yoga in rural areas.
