Main event of International Day of Yoga 2019 to be held in Jharkhand

About 30,000 people are expected to participate in main event on June 21

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the main event of International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2019 celebrations to be held at Prabhat Tara, Ranchi, Jharkhand on June 21, 2019. Approximately 30,000 people are expected to participate in the main event. On June 13, there will be a curtain raiser to the main event at Ranchi, which will be attended by several state dignitaries, besides the yoga organisations and yoga gurus.

The ministry of AYUSH has successfully organised several programmes during the last four years in connection with IDY. Similarly, several small and big events are being planned this year too.

The ministry has requested the stake holding ministries and departments of the central government, state governments and other related institutions to work in a coordinated manner to observe IDY on June 21, 2019, in accordance with national priorities, in order to secure long-term gains in the area of public health and well-being. Taking note of the immense and well-documented rewards of yoga for holistic health and well-being of the population, most of the stake-holding ministries and departments, state governments and other institutions have initiated activities to make the observation of IDY as a well-participated event. Industry bodies like CII, FICCI, Institute of Company Secretary, as well as educational bodies like CBSE, NCERT, UGC, DAV, etc have already rolled out various programmes in preparation of IDY.

In addition to this, the ministry is encouraging all individuals and institutions – including educational institutions, government bodies, business firms, industries and cultural organisations – to join IDY for the benefit of their employees, members or other stakeholders.
