International Yoga Day to be organised across all govt hospitals in UP

Lucknow, May 31 (UNI) In a bid to promote holistic health and well-being, the Uttar Pradesh government will organise International Yoga Day programmes across all government hospitals on June 21.
Acting on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's directive, the Health Department has directed all the Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) and the Chief Medical Superintendents (CMSs) to begin preparations and awareness campaigns without delay.
Principal Secretary, Medical Health and Family Welfare, Partha Sarthi Sen Sharma said that as per the directives of the CM, a letter has been issued to all CMOs and CMSs and directives have been given to ensure the organisation of Yoga Day in all the district hospitals, community health centres, primary health centers and Ayushman Arogya Mandirs of the state. "A roadmap for organising these events is being prepared in advance to ensure maximum participation," he said.
He said that this year's theme will be 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health'. He said that the main aim of Yoga Day is to raise awareness about the benefits of yoga for improving overall health and lifestyle.
He said, "In UP, regular yoga sessions are already being held at all Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to support people's physical, mental and spiritual well-being. On June 21, special yoga events will be organised at all these locations as part of this ongoing effort."
Sharma said that in order to help more people take part in International Yoga Day, Ayushman Arogya Mandirs will provide general yoga protocol skills to interested participants at the local level. "The Ministry of AYUSH, along with the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, will also offer online training for yoga instructors," he said.
He said that coordination should be established with the block/district administration while ensuring active participation of ASHA/ANM, voluntary organisations, educational institutions at the community level and the message should be disseminated to the public through physical and digital means.
