New Delhi, June 18 (UNI) As India gears up for the 11th International Day of Yoga (IDY) on June 21, a nationwide wave of yogic celebrations has already gained momentum under the banner of Yoga Maha Kumbh, the Government said today.
A vibrant three-day Yoga Maha Kumbh event has been kick-started from the Heartfulness Meditation Centre in RK Puram here which was organised by the Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) and the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY), in collaboration with the Heartfulness Institute.
“The event aims to foster holistic well-being across communities. The program features a series of yoga demonstrations, wellness sessions, and cultural performances, all centered around the themes of mindfulness, health, and community well-being,” said a statement from the Ministry said.
Another Yoga Maha Kumbh event began in Ladakh on June 15 in the rarefied air of Ladakh’s high-altitude terrain. The International Festival of Yoga and Meditation (IFYM) 2025 in Ladakh has already captivated global and national attention by bringing yoga to awe-inspiring locations such as Pangong Lake (13,000+ ft), Nubra Valley, Sindhu Ghat, and the MIMC Devachan Campus, said the Ministry. This year’s theme is “Yoga for One Earth, One Health.”
Similarly, the second Yoga Maha Kumbh event also started on June 15 in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Arham Dhyan Yog launched its Yoga Maha Kumbh in Sector 50, Noida, bringing together youth and families for Harit Yoga sessions, essay and debate competitions, and interactive engagements at Ved Van Park, Sector 78. Their upcoming event on 21st June at Shivalik Park in Sector 33A, will align with the nationwide Yoga Sangam celebrations. Arham Dhyan Yog is also conducting parallel sessions globally, further amplifying the IDY 2025 movement, said the statement.
Yet another statement issued by Ministry of Coal said that the Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL), a Singrauli based Miniratna Company under its arm is organising a massive awareness campaign from June 15 to June 20, 2025, to promote yoga and its health benefits in the local community in the run up to the D Day.
