In a resounding testament to the nation's growing commitment to holistic health, the Ministry of
Ayush is pleased to announce that over 1,000 organizations have already registered their proposals
under the flagship Yoga Sangam initiative — setting the tone for what is poised to become India’s
st
largest-ever wellness celebration on 21 June 2025, International Day of Yoga (IDY).
The enthusiastic response comes from a diverse mix of organisations and institutions, including schools,
colleges, corporates, NGOs, Resident Welfare Associations, government departments, and grassroots
community groups from across all 28 States and 7 Union Territories. These groups have pledged to conduct
yoga demonstrations in line with the Common Yoga Protocol (CYP) — uniting the country in spirit, breath,
and movement.
This year marks a decade since the United Nations officially recognised the International Day of Yoga in
2015, following the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. As the nation
celebrates a decade of global leadership in wellness, the theme for 2025, “Yoga for One Earth, One Health,”
resonates more deeply than ever.
From the snow-capped Himalayas to the southern tip of Kanyakumari, from quiet parks to bustling
schoolyards and office lawns, over one lakh locations are expected to transform into vibrant centres of
wellness and unity on June 21. Yoga Sangam is not just an event — it's a national wellness movement
fostering harmony within and around us.
