In the serene natural surroundings of Eco Park, participants collectively performed a series of yoga asanas and breathing exercises, under the guidance of trained instructors. The yoga session served not only as a wellness activity but also as a unifying platform to convey the importance of physical fitness, mental clarity, and a drug-free lifestyle.
Speaking on the occasion, ADDC lauded the collaborative efforts of the departments involved in organising the event and emphasized the growing relevance of yoga in today’s fast-paced life.
He also highlighted the importance of youth engagement in nation-building and the pivotal role yoga and awareness programs play in shaping a healthy, responsible future generation.
