Nadda participated in the entire yoga session, alongside NDMC Vice-Chairman Kuljeet Singh Chahal, the secretary of the Ministry of Ayush, and volunteers from the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga.
According to the statement, the NDMC ensured extensive arrangements for the event’s success — providing yoga mats, T-shirts, drinking water, mobile toilets, ambulances and first-aid facilities. Around 1,000 personnel were deployed under the supervision of 10 nodal officers across all locations.
Chahal said the council also conducted yoga events at the NDMC Old Age Home, Working Women Hostel, resident welfare associations and NDMC offices.
The NDMC partnered with groups, such as Art of Living, Patanjali Yoga Samiti, Gayatri Parivar, Isha Yoga Centre, The Yoga Guru Institute, TB Survivor Association and Mokshayatan Yog Sansthan, to mark the day under the global theme: “Yoga for One Earth, One Health”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address from Visakhapatnam was telecast live on LED screens at all the venues.
In the days leading up to the event, the NDMC also hosted “Yoga Build” camps at the Talkatora Garden and the Lodhi Garden from June 18 to June 20, in association with its partner yoga institutions.
The day’s events reflected a growing public embrace of yoga in urban India and reaffirmed its power to unite, heal and transform lives, the statement said. PTI MHS RC
