In December 2014 the United Nations declared 21st June as ‘International Day of Yoga’ after 177 nations across all continents of the world co-sponsored a resolution seeking the same.

When the resolution was adopted, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed immense joy on this and said that Yoga has the power to bring the entire humankind together. It may be recalled that the Prime Minister had mooted such an idea during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2014.

You are requested to provide inputs on the following aspects relating to the marking of the first ever ‘International Day of Yoga’.

(1) How can the ‘International Day of Yoga’ be celebrated at the UN forum?

(2) Suggest creative ways in which the ‘International Day of Yoga’ can be celebrated at the world stage.

(3) What are ways in which we can mark the ‘International Day of Yoga’ across the length and breadth of India?

Best inputs and suggestions would be sent to the Prime Minister himself and would also be utilized.

Dear Sir, kindly make Yoga along with Meditation compulsory in all the educational institutes up to masters degree level across all the boards & universities. I sincerely believe that compulsory Yoga will help to build a "Disease Free India" or "Healthy India" and meditation will help to build a "Compassionate & Powerful India". "Swasth Bharat" "Swachh Bharat". If 21 days makes a habit, 15-17 years will make a lifestyle.

Make yoga a regular practice by introducing it in morning prayers. Like we had PT classes this can also be introduced. As yoga is very good for body,mind and soul, Si it is very good for every student. Add it in their curriculum.

Government should publish official booklets @ yoga for various age groups which will recommend the set of daily asanas and pranayams that should be practised, eg yoga for youth , for seniors etc. Govt should document the benefits of yoga with supporting evidence and get it cross verified by authorities from allopathy. A set of TV and radio programs on 21st June will go a long way in increasing the awareness. The tourism dept. shd introduce special yoga tours.
