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.

Honourable Prime Minister, Yoga is fine. A much bigger number of Indian can have health benefits if 'Hand washing Day'is observed with same vigor and enthusiasm.

its a very nice step towards our traditional health care policy.But this will benefit those who do yoga but in our country we can see only 2 to 5 percent of people do yoga. First thing which is necessary for doing pranayama and yoga is fresh air which is very difficult to find in cities, so we should do "yajay" or "havan" daily to give our nationals a clean and fresh air and it will also be promoted as govt. is promoting yoga. thanks
