The Minister pointed out that this year’s event will be a huge success, with programs held in both India and abroad.
In a separate development, United Nations Resident Coordinator in India, Shombi Sharp, said Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, will lead the yoga session at the United Nations Secretariat in New York on June 21. This year’s event will be a big deal, as everyone in the world understands the benefits of yoga following International Yoga Day’s launch in 2015. The event was supported by 175 countries very quickly, and it spread all around the world, with Prime Minister Modi leading the way. Yoga is important as a means of mindfulness and serves to promote mental health, physical well-being, and mind-body harmony.
