1 student to be chosen as yoga ambassador from each school

Jaipur: To promote practising yoga in schools, the education department will identify one student from each school who perform the best on International Yoga Day. These students will be made Yoga ambassadors in their schools to further encourage other students and teachers to practise yoga throughout the year. Officials said that along with school staff, the ambassadors will encourage locals in villages to incorporate yoga into their lives. "The selected students will be given special training to learn yoga and become trainers. A child can learn fast and encourage more students to practise a healthy lifestyle, which will not only improve the health of students but also increase their concentration and grasping power," said a senior official from the education department. As part of yoga camps being organised across the city, JMC Greater mayor Somya Gurjar, along with sanitation workers, performed yoga at her residence Friday. The sanitation workers took a pledge to practise yoga for 15 minutes daily. At Hawa Mahal, traders and entrepreneurs also performed yoga Friday morning, despite rain showers. During the yoga session by traders along with the JMC-G mayor, who has been made yoga ambassador by the state govt, a message to include the 3Rs—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—in daily lifestyle was given to the public. "Yoga is synonymous with discipline and an integral part of our ideology and culture, everyone should join the program on Yoga Day and add it to their daily routine," said Gurjar. On International Yoga Day Saturday, yoga programs will be organised at 13 places across Jaipur, including Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Galta Ji Temple, Jal Mahal, Hawa Mahal, Amer Fort, Govind Dev Ji Temple, Jaigarh, City Palace, Albert Hall, Central Park, Birla Mandir, Patrika Gate, and City Park.

NDMC to host International Yoga Day events at 8 spots in Lutyens' Delhi

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will celebrate the International Day of Yoga on 21 June by organising mass yoga sessions at eight iconic locations in the Lutyens' Delhi area. The sessions, scheduled from 6:00 am to 8:00 am, will follow the 2025 theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health', which promotes holistic well-being and environmental consciousness. According to an official statement issued on Friday, the Mass Yoga Protocol Programme will be held at the lawn at Shanti Path in Chanakyapuri, Lodhi Garden, Talkatora Garden, the south lawn of Kartavya Path, IAS Residential Complex in New Moti Bagh, Sanjay Jheel in Laxmi Bai Nagar, Central Park in Connaught Place, and Pandara Park. Local residents, government officials and members of the general public have been invited to participate. NDMC officials noted that the yoga sessions aim to encourage citizens to incorporate yoga into their daily routines, highlighting its role in promoting resilience, mental balance and environmental stewardship. Global celebrations to mark Yoga Day's 10th anniversary India will host yoga events in 1,300 cities around the world on Saturday to mark the 10th International Day of Yoga (IDY), reflecting the country's cultural heritage and soft power, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) confirmed. Speaking about the global outreach, ICCR Director General K Nandini Singla said, 'On the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Yoga, we will practically cover every country in the world where yoga events are being organised. In some countries like the US, we are hosting multiple events across various cities.' The state government is mobilising large-scale participation not only in Visakhapatnam but also through simultaneous yoga activities across Andhra Pradesh on 21 June. Delhi government joins in with yoga at 11 major locations Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced on Friday that the capital will host International Yoga Day events at 11 major locations. She called on Delhi residents to embrace yoga as a way of life. 'For the first time in Delhi, International Yoga Day is being organised at 11 major places, in which Delhiites are excited to participate,' Gupta posted on X. 'This is the first occasion when, on behalf of the Delhi government, I myself, my cabinet colleagues, all MPs, MLAs and officers will participate together in a historic event of yoga,' she wrote, noting that the event echoes the Prime Minister's message of 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health'. 'All Delhiites are requested to join the Yoga Day celebrations and make it a part of their lifestyle. Let us together build a healthy, prosperous and cultural Delhi,' she added. A celebration of India's ancient wellness tradition Celebrated annually on 21 June, the International Day of Yoga honours yoga as an ancient Indian discipline that nurtures physical, mental and spiritual well-being. The idea to observe an international yoga day was first proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address to the United Nations General Assembly in 2014. He recommended 21 June—the Summer Solstice and the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere—as a symbolic date to promote health, harmony and global unity through yoga.
