Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make history by leading a yoga session at the United Nations Headquarters on June 21, the 9th International Day of Yoga.
This day aims to create awareness about the benefits of practicing yoga and was designated by the United Nations in 2014. PM Modi's proposal for this day was endorsed by a record 175 member states. The yoga session, taking place on the UN's North Lawn, will be attended by top UN officials, ambassadors, and delegates from Member States. The event encourages participants to wear comfortable attire and provides yoga mats. This significant occasion marks PM Modi's first visit to the UN Headquarters for International Yoga Day since his proposal nine years ago. The celebration of International Day of Yoga has become a global event, emphasizing the ancient practice's popularity and its positive impact on physical and mental well-being.
