Principal secretary Parth Sarthi Sen Sharma has written to chief medical officers (CMOs) and chief medical superintendents (CMSs) to begin preparations and awareness campaigns without delay.
"Instructions have been given to ensure that Yoga Day is organised in all district hospitals, community health centres, primary health centres, and Ayushman Arogya Mandirs of the state. A roadmap for organising these events is being prepared in advance to ensure maximum participation," an official spokesperson said on Saturday.
Informing the district authorities that the Yoga Day theme for 2025 is "Yoga for One Earth, One Health," the official letter stated: "The aim is to raise awareness about the benefits of yoga for improving overall health and lifestyle. In Uttar Pradesh, regular yoga sessions are already being held at all Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to support people's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. On June 21, special yoga events will be organised at all these locations as part of this ongoing effort.
"
Sharma further said to help more people take part in International Yoga Day, Ayushman Arogya Mandirs will provide general yoga protocol skills to interested participants at the local level.
The Ministry of AYUSH, along with the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, will also offer online training for yoga instructors.
"Coordination should be established with the block/district administration while ensuring active participation of ASHA/ANM, voluntary organisations, and educational institutions at the community level. The message should be disseminated to the public through physical and digital means," he said.
