On June 21, 2025, the National Informatics Centre (NIC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Ayush, celebrated the 11th International Day of Yoga, reaffirming its deep-rooted commitment to holistic health, mindfulness, and overall well-being. This year’s theme, “One Earth, One Yoga for Health,” underscores the interconnectedness of all life and emphasizes our shared responsibility for global wellness.
The main event was organized at NIC Headquarters in New Delhi, and conducted simultaneously across NIC State Centres nationwide, uniting employees and communities in a collective celebration of Yoga. These efforts reflected a powerful and unified step toward embracing wellness as a national ethos.
The day began at 7:30 AM with a revitalizing Yoga session at NIC HQ, led by an expert instructor from the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, under the Ministry of Ayush. Participants engaged in a thoughtfully curated sequence of asanas, pranayama, and meditation, promoting not only physical flexibility but also mental clarity, stress relief, and spiritual balance. The session encouraged mindfulness and unity, serving as a reminder of the transformative power of Yoga in daily life.
Across the country, NIC State Centres echoed this celebration with equal enthusiasm. Local sessions were customized to meet the needs of their participants and led by experienced Yoga instructors. These sessions placed special emphasis on the therapeutic, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of Yoga, highlighting its role in enhancing mental health and resilience.
To extend the reach of the celebration, NIC actively promoted the event on social media, raising awareness about the Ministry of Ayush’s Y-Break mobile app and encouraging individuals to incorporate brief, daily Yoga routines into their schedules. These online engagements received a strong and positive public response, further enhancing community participation and reinforcing NIC’s commitment to fostering a healthier, more mindful society.
Through this nationwide initiative, NIC not only honored a global movement but also strengthened its own internal culture of wellness and collective harmony—truly embodying the spirit of “One Earth, One Yoga for Health.”
