Prime Minister Modi will lead the yoga session at the UN Headquarters on the 9th International Day of Yoga to be commemorated on June 21.
The Yoga session will run from 8 am-9 am on June 21 at the expansive North Lawn in the UN Headquarters, where a bust of Mahatma Gandhi, a gift from India to the UN, was installed in December last year during the country’s Presidency of the UN Security Council.
The proposal to observe International Day of Yoga was moved by Modi and accepted by a record 175 countries. The proposal was placed by Modi during his speech at the UN General Assembly on September 27, 2014.
In view of the increasing popularity and acceptance of Yoga across the world, the UNGA announced on December 11, 2014, that June 21, will be observed as International Day of Yoga.
