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.

All the 204 countries should send best 2 yoga students to UN forum to perform yoga together and it should be shown across the world. Similarly Indian embassies should organise yoga competition in the capital of every country and winer should be given chance to visit India. Every institution should be told to have yoga as a part of phsical edu and on 21st on mass competition should be organised from block, distt,state and at national level and Mr. Yoga should be chosen and rewarded. Same across.

Declare that in two months every school will have yoga as their subject. It has to be in the course curriculum at School level. Practical exam should be made necessary. School children need to know the importance of the roots of yoga and the effects it has on our bodies. They should implement, practice it and be made aware of the benefits yoga imparts in every field of life.

It is a wonderful initiative and we should now implement this whole heartedly. Yoga should be a compulsory subject in school curriculum and should be taught by specialized teachers. Though there shouldnt be any evaluation of this subject still its compulsion at all levels would bring a significant change.
