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.

Should be made Compulsory in School and all major Corporate Companies. Government should open Yoga Centres with nominal fees in metro cities like Kendriya Vidyalaya school. Government Must encourage Yoga by promoting Yoga by any famous Personality and issue Certificates on Completion on Course. Misuse and abuse language towards Yoga must be taken strict punishment Jai Hind.

A definition of yoga is ‘chittavrittinirodha’ or staying away frm desires.So we can turn this initiative into a multi-pronged moment by observing 21st June as‘narcotics-free day’,‘womens’ safety day’,‘corruption-free day’ etc?Wdn’t it b wonderful if women of India, even for a single day,can roam about odd streets even at odd hours,fearlessly,knowing tht they have d entire nation to take care of their life?If govt n people cn join forces to stay away frm temptations we cn make this a success.

Help should be provided to economically backward, in studies.They should be given books, food,basic need items and other necessary things till they are studing but during the time of job all should be treated equally, no reservation should be there. If we want equality in reality we have to stop reservation on the basis of caste, creed, nationality.There should be fair competition,no reservation.

21 June is the day of summer solstice, also the longest and one of the hottest day in northern hemisphere. On this hot and long day, "शीतल पेय-पदार्थ " companies should be encouraged to lend their support to this initiative either through advertisements or any other medium.

In the past, there used to be screening of "राष्ट्र-गान" before the screening of Movie in the cinema theaters. Similarly, for this day, such small clips can be shown to the people, highlighting the Heritage of YOGA, about YOGA etc etc. At the end of the clip a web-link (through a big QR code or otherwise) should also be given, which will provide Insight about YOGA to interested people. A website should also be created regarding information about YOGA.

Public celebrities related to sports, film industry, politics, business etc should be encouraged to lend their support to this initiative and They wud in turn urge their supporters to learn, practice and propagate YOGA in sustainable manner. It would be very much similar to the Swachh Bharat Campaign.
