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.

India To Organise Yoga Day Events In 191 Countries Tomorrow
India will organise thematic events and programmes in 1,300 cities across the globe to mark the International Day of Yoga on Saturday, showcasing the nation's ancient tradition and soft power. The Indian High Commission in Pakistan is also organising a yoga event in Islamabad on the occasion, according to a statement issued on Friday by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), the cultural arm of the Ministry of External Affairs. "On the 10th anniversary of 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," ICCR's Director General, K Nandini Singla, was quoted as saying in a statement. The ICCR will organise various yoga events and programmes in 191 countries on June 21 to mark the IDY, with more than 2,000 events to be hosted at 1,300 locations, covering multiple cities in various nations, it said. Additionally, the ICCR is also hosting 'Yoga Bandhan', a signature event of IDY 2025, where 17 yoga gurus and practitioners from 15 countries, including Brazil, Argentina, Russia, China, South Africa, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore and South Korea, will lead the Yoga Day events across India, Singla said. In Delhi, yoga events will be led by these foreign yoga gurus at Jantar Mantar, Qutub Minar, Purana Quila and Humayun's Tomb, while similar 'Yoga Bandhan' programmes will be organised at iconic locations in Lucknow, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bhopal, Gwalior and other cities, she added. Just as yoga is a 'union' between ' Atma' and 'Paramatma', 'Yoga Bandhan' seeks to "unite India and the world', the ICCR's DG said. "It is a matter of great satisfaction that yoga has come full circle. Yoga went from India to these countries. People abroad learnt yoga, and today they have come back to India to lead yoga demonstrations by Indian people in India," Singla added. The theme for IDY 2025 is 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health'. This theme echoes a vital truth about the interconnectedness of health, sustainability, and the environment, aligning with India's "One Earth, One Family, One Future" vision highlighted during its G20 presidency, the ICCR underlined. The ICCR DG noted that preparations for IDY- 2025 started several months ago. "To create awareness about IDY, we did various programmes to mark the 100-day countdown, 75-day countdown, 50-day countdown and 25-day countdown events. Globally, our embassies and consulates hosted special yoga events in the run-up to the IDY," she said. India's 37 cultural centres in different countries also organised numerous yoga programmes during the last 100 days, Singla added. Regarding yoga's popularity in foreign countries, she said, "prominent personalities like MPs, legislators, police officers and judges are also learning yoga abroad". Many people in foreign countries are adopting yoga in their daily lives to stay healthy and beat stress, Singla said, adding that yoga has "truly become a global movement".
