Yoga is the foundation of a healthy and developed India, says CM Mohan Yadav

Yoga: The path to holistic balance

As described in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Yoga is the essence of balance. Maharshi Patanjali provided the world with the path to a healthy and disease-free life through his teachings. This ancient Indian tradition is now a global movement that nurtures the body, mind, and soul.

Global acceptance of Yoga

Under the visionary leadership of Narendra Modi, the United Nations General Assembly declared 21 June as International Yoga Day. Today, more than 190 countries have embraced this practice, with millions of people integrating it into their daily lives. The theme for this year's International Yoga Day is Yoga for Healthy Ageing.

President Draupadi Murmu to grace the event

It is a matter of great pride that President Draupadi Murmu will be the chief guest at the International Yoga Day celebrations being held in Madhya Pradesh this year. The state is honored to play a pivotal role in this global movement.

Taking Yoga to every household

The state government has launched the Ghar-Ghar Yoga - Har Vyakti Nirog campaign to ensure public health. Key initiatives include:

• Regular yoga sessions at over 800 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs and health centers.
• Deployment of trained yoga teachers to conduct small group sessions.
• Active engagement of Yoga-Sakhi and Yoga-Doot in spreading awareness across villages and cities.

Record-breaking participation

A new world record was set recently at Malwanchal University in Indore, where over 35,000 students performed yoga together. This event highlighted the concept of One Earth-One Health, bringing the community closer to nature and wellness.

Integrating Yoga with environment and welfare

The government is linking yoga with environmental conservation through initiatives like the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign. By promoting Ayush medicine and wellness centers, the state aims to make yoga a people's movement for better health.

Global conference scheduled for 2027

Madhya Pradesh is set to host a global conference in January 2027 on the theme One Earth, One Health and One Consciousness: Yoga for Holistic Well-being. This event will showcase India's contribution to global health and mental peace.

A call to embrace Yoga

CM Mohan Yadav has urged all citizens, including youth, students, and government officials, to make yoga an essential part of their daily routine. By connecting families and society through these practices, we can contribute to a healthier Madhya Pradesh and a developed India.
