 PM Narendra Modi to participate in massive International Yoga Day in Andhra Pradesh on June 21

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a record-breaking International Yoga Day celebration in Visakhapatnam on June 21, as Andhra Pradesh aims to mobilise over 3 lakh participants across a 26-km corridor and set multiple world records.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in a massive International Yoga Day organised by Andhra Pradesh, on Saturday, in a 26-km-long corridor from RK Beach in the port city of Visakhapatnam that stretches up to Bhogapuram, where over 3 lakh people can perform Yoga simultaneously.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has said the event, scheduled from 6:30 am to 8:00 am, will be organised in such a way to get recognition and set records, including a Guinness World Record.
The Andhra Pradesh government is aiming to set a string of records in Yoga by mobilising several lakh people, not just in Visakhapatnam but by organising simultaneous activities across the state on June 21.
The 11th International Yoga Day, celebrated by several countries across the world, has been themed as 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health'.
"As many as 25,000 tribal students will perform Surya Namaskars for 108 minutes. The objective is to set records for the largest group and the most people performing Surya Namaskars simultaneously," said Naidu.
The government is aiming to organise yoga sessions in one lakh centres across the state and attract five lakh people to participate in yoga activities in Visakhapatnam.
Observing that elaborate arrangements have been made across a 26-km stretch from RK Beach in Vizag to Bhogapuram, the CM said 3.19 lakh people can perform yoga simultaneously from RK Beach.
Participants from eight lakh locations across the state, country, and the world are expected to join, he said, adding that the estimated two-crore registrations for yoga day activities participation overshot to 2.39 crores.
In the run-up to the yoga day, the southern state embarked on 'Yogandhra', a month-long campaign to create awareness about yoga with several activities linked to the ancient practice originating from India.
As part of 'Yogandhra', 15,000 yoga competitions were held from the village level to state level, 5,451 master trainers have contributed to this effort, and over one crore participants of various yoga programmes were certified, a government release said.
For the smooth conduct of this mega event, 326 compartments with a capacity of 1,000 people each have been readied, along with 3.32 lakh t-shirts and five lakh yoga mats.
Officials have identified and registered over 1.3 lakh places across the state for yoga activities on June 21, while alternative arrangements have also been made for 30,000 people in Vizag.
Even though there is no rain forecast, CM instructed officials to be prepared with alternative arrangements.
Recently, the CM personally visited Visakhapatnam to take stock of the preparations. He called on everybody in the state to make Yoga Day a grand success.
Naidu called for proclaiming a declaration on Yoga Day to make yoga a part of everyday life.
Over 3,000 buses are expected to ferry yoga enthusiasts to the venue in Vizag, while the CM said all the participants should reach their respective places between 6 am and 6:30 am on yoga day.
Meanwhile, elaborate security arrangements are being made for the Visakhapatnam event.
"Over 1,200 CCTV cameras and drones will monitor the 26-kilometre stretch where thousands of people will perform yoga, with around 10,000 police personnel deployed for security duties," DGP Harish Kumar Gupta said earlier.
A high-tech police control room has been set up to oversee coordination and ensure foolproof security during the event, which will witness massive public participation.
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other key ministers attending, standardised security protocols are being followed at every level, Gupta noted.

Ahead of International Yoga Day on June 21, CM Pushkar Singh Dhami led a yoga session in Dehradun while Visakhapatnam readies to host PM Modi and 2.5 lakh participants in a world-record yoga event.

&nbsp;
Speaking after the session, CM Dhami said, "Under the leadership of PM Modi, Yoga has become popular worldwide. Ahead of 21 June, the International Day of Yoga, we organised an event to spread awareness about Yoga today. I appeal to the public to adopt Yoga to stay healthy."
The Chief Minister, who practiced yoga at his residence complex along with officials and employees of the Chief Minister's Office, emphasised Uttarakhand&rsquo;s identity as a land of sages and yoga. He stated that the state government has made consistent efforts to connect people with yoga at the village level.
Calling yoga a path to mental clarity and inner peace, Dhami said, &ldquo;Yoga is not just a physical exercise but a process of inner peace and self-realisation. It is a medium to stabilise our mind and reach the depths of consciousness.&rdquo; He further added, &ldquo;India has always kept human values paramount, and the basic pillar of our Sanatan culture is yoga. This is the reason that today yoga has become an integral part of the daily routine of crores of people of the world and is establishing the Indian lifestyle on the global stage.&rdquo;
Recalling the milestone moment when yoga gained international recognition, the CM noted, &ldquo;In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had proposed in the United Nations General Assembly to recognize Yoga as an international day, which was supported by 177 countries, and June 21 was declared International Yoga Day.&rdquo;
He also said that a new yoga policy is being introduced to position Uttarakhand as a global centre for yoga and wellness, while creating employment opportunities in the sector.
Meanwhile, Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh is preparing to host one of the largest yoga events in history, which will see the participation of over 2.5 lakh people and an appearance by Prime Minister Modi. The event will take place along the 27-km-long coastal road, and is being organised with the goal of setting a new world record for mass yoga participation.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is also expected to take part in the event. A high-level review meeting was conducted at the VMRDA office in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday to finalise preparations. The meeting was attended by Ministers Vangalapudi Anitha, Achennaidu, DBV Swamy, BC Janardhan Reddy, Angani Satya Prasad, MP Bharat, coalition MLAs from Uttarandhra, and several other public representatives.
Following the meeting, Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha addressed the media and shared details of the large-scale arrangements. &ldquo;The people of Visakhapatnam are fortunate to organise the 11th International Yoga Day in Visakhapatnam,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;Yoga is a gift from India to the world. Yoga is a part of life. We are moving Andhra Pradesh towards a healthy Andhra Pradesh.&rdquo;
Authorities have reportedly prepared 326 compartments to accommodate participants, and over 2,000 CCTV cameras have been installed across the venue to monitor and manage the crowd effectively.
The event in Visakhapatnam is expected to be one of the largest ever celebrations of International Yoga Day, reinforcing India&rsquo;s soft power and cultural influence across the globe.

International Yoga Day: Indian diaspora performs yoga at London's Trafalgar Square

Several members of the Indian diaspora and Yoga enthusiasts gathered at the iconic Trafalgar Square in London for a two-hour session to celebrate Internation Yoga Day. 

The Indian High Commission in London organised a 2-hour yoga session at Trafalgar Square on Tuesday

The International Day of Yoga 2023 celebrations returned to Trafalgar Square on Tuesday after a hiatus since the COVID-19 pandemic, when the event had to take on a more virtual element.
Several members of the Indian diaspora and Yoga enthusiasts more broadly gathered at the iconic square in London and followed the lead of experts from UK-based Yoga organisations such as Isha Foundation, Iyengar Yoga UK, Heartfulness Meditation and Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur (SRMD) UK in a two-hour holistic session. The gathering, organised by the Indian High Commission in London and backed by the Mayor of London, began with prayers and incorporated several asanas and breathing exercises as the experts explained the benefits of each move.
&ldquo;Yoga is India&rsquo;s gift to the world and also one of our most popular and indigenised exports, available as a practice everywhere in the world today,&rdquo; said Vikram Doraiswami, India&rsquo;s High Commissioner to the UK.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s also special that the Yoga Day in London is a precursor to the event that&rsquo;s being held in New York, where Prime Minister Modi would be celebrating the International Day of Yoga at the United Nations headquarters. It&rsquo;s a very nice precursor to that very high-level event, which is going to precede a major state visit to the US. So, it&rsquo;s an important moment for all of us at the mission in London to be able to help build up anticipation for that visit,&rdquo; he said.
International Day of Yoga (IDY) is marked the world over on June 21, and this year&rsquo;s theme is Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam &ndash; or the world as one family.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who departed for a historic state visit to the US, will participate in a Yoga session at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Wednesday, marking the ninth Yoga Day since he proposed the motion at the UN in 2014.
In London, the High Commissioner was joined by many senior staff from the Indian mission in taking part in the wide-ranging Yoga session, including Deputy High Commissioner to the UK Sujit Ghosh.

After this event, representatives of the Guinness Book of World Records handed over a certificate to chief minister Patel declaring that a new world record has been created for the largest gathering of people for a yoga session at one place, said Surat district Collector, Aayush Oak.

"Using that data, representatives of the Guinness World Records have confirmed that 1.53 lakh people gathered here for the Yoga session, beating the previous record set in 2018 in Kota city of Rajasthan when 1,00,984 persons participated in Yoga day celebration at one place", said Oak.
According to Agarwal, nearly 2.20 lakh people registered themselves through an online link created for this purpose.
"The QR code data confirmed that 1.53 lakh people took part in the Yoga Day event in the presence of the chief minister. These participants were accommodated on two stretches of roads having a combined length of 10.5 km. We had created 135 blocks on these roads and accommodated nearly 1,000 people in each block with an LED screen and an instructor," said the civic chief.
Across Gujarat, 1.25 crore people took part in the Yoga Day celebration at 72,000 venues, the chief minister said in his address in Surat.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has popularised yoga across the world.
"We witnessed how Yoga and pranayam helped people during the coronavirus pandemic," the chief minister said, adding that a world record has been created in Surat with the participation of more than one lakh people.
On the occasion, the chief minister announced that the state government will open 21 'Yog Studios' in the near future to popularise yoga.
"The State Yog Board has so far trained 5,000 instructors. In the coming days, the state government is planning to start 21 Yoga studios in the state," he said.
While the state-level event to mark International Yoga Day was held in Surat in the presence of the chief minister, other ministers, MLAs, MPs and officials took part in programmes in different districts.

International Yoga Day: PM Modi to lead historic session at UN headquarters today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a unique yoga session on Wednesday in a historic celebration to commemorate the 9th International Day of Yoga at the UN Headquarters that will see participation from top UN officials, envoys from across the world and prominent individuals.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in New York to attend a special event to mark the 9th International Yoga Day

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a unique yoga session on Wednesday in a historic celebration to commemorate the 9th International Day of Yoga at the UN Headquarters that will see participation from top UN officials, envoys from across the world and prominent individuals.
"Landed in New York City. Looking forward to the programmes here including interaction with thought leaders and the Yoga Day programme tomorrow, 21st June," Prime Minister Modi tweeted.
Modi is here on the first leg of his first state visit to the US at the invitation of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
Nine years after Prime Minister Modi first proposed from the United Nations General Assembly podium to mark International Yoga Day as an annual commemoration, the Indian leader will for the first time be at the UN Headquarters to lead the yoga session in a historic commemoration of the day.
India&rsquo;s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj told PTI in an interview that the yoga celebration this year will be a very &ldquo;unique occasion&rdquo; because it was Prime Minister Modi who had given this vision and it was his leadership that ensured that June 21 every year is celebrated as International Yoga Day.
"So about nine years later, the author of that vision comes to the United Nations,&rdquo; she said, adding that now Yoga Day is an UN-mandated occasion. "So the coming together of the two- the visionary leader and the United Nations, I think, is in itself very unique,&rdquo; Kamboj said.
She said that the yoga event is generating a lot of anticipation and excitement and is very heavily subscribed. "The international element is very high. There's a lot of interest, which is in itself, I would say, a sort of attribute to yoga, this ancient Indian practice, the fact that it has transcended all borders and it has become a global phenomenon.&rdquo; Kamboj added that the &ldquo;fact that there will be children performing yoga onstage is very unique. So altogether I think it is going to be quite a one of its kind event.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Prime Minister Modi will be paying his respects to the bust of Mahatma Gandhi that now "proudly adorns&rdquo; the North Lawn of the UN headquarters where the yoga will also be conducted. "There is also a memorial to the fallen Peacekeeper which is, I think, very poignant and very significant given that India is the largest troop and police contributing country,&rdquo; to UN peacekeepers, Kamboj said.
The historic yoga session is expected to be attended by top UN officials, ambassadors, envoys, delegates from Member States as well as prominent members of the global and diaspora community.

The event was organised at Pranu camp in Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir on June 21.
