Modi to launch projects in Karnataka on Yoga Day |
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a two-day visit to Karnataka state from 20th June during which he will launch several development projects and also take part in the International Yoga Day on 21st June. Integrating the `Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav` with the yoga day, the Prime Minister`s office said mass yoga demonstrations will be organized at 75 iconic locations across the country under the leadership of 75 Union ministers, with Modi attending the exercise at Mysore. The yoga demonstrations will also be held by various educational, social, political, cultural, religious, corporate, and other civil society organizations and will be attended by crores of people across the country, it said. Modi`s yoga program is also part of the novel program `Guardian Yoga Ring`, which is a collaborative exercise among 79 countries and United Nations organizations along with Indian missions abroad to illustrate yoga`s unifying power surpassing boundaries. As the sun moves from the east to the west across the world, the mass yoga demonstrations in the participating countries, if seen from any one point on the earth, will seem to be happening one after the other, almost in tandem, thus underlining the concept of `One sun, one earth`. The PMO has said Since 2015, the International Day of Yoga (IDY) is celebrated worldwide on June 21every year. The theme for this year`s Yoga Day is “Yoga for Humanity”. The theme portrays how yoga served humanity in alleviating suffering during the Covid pandemic, it noted. Modi will dedicate to the Nation 150 `Technology Hubs` that have been developed by transforming the Industrial sector and later inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of multiple rail and road infrastructure projects worth over Rs 27,000 crores.
