Ayush Ministry to celebrate Yoga Mahotsav tomorrow | Fusion - WeRIndia

On the occasion of World Health Day, Ayush Ministry decided to hold a grand programme tomorrow at Red Fort. An official statement has been released, stating that the Ayush Ministry is going to celebrate Yoga Mahotsav on Thursday morning.

World Health Day is celebrated on April 7 every year. It is celebrated to promote awareness among people on general health and wellness. It also focuses on the contribution of medical faculty and their success.

The World Health Organisation established World Health Day in 1950. It has been celebrated since then.

As the world is under the fangs of COVID-19, awareness of personal hygiene is increasing among people. The pandemic also made people focus on the cleanliness of their surroundings and other people.

WHO plays a vital role in promoting awareness of health-related issues and addressing them as well.  The increasing pollution and adulterated food lead to many life-threatening diseases like cancer.

As per the estimates of WHO, around 13 million deaths occur each year across the globe. These are due to environmental causes, which can be avoidable. Certain issues need urgent attention to protect the health of people as well as the planet. Hence, this year’s theme of World Health Day is Our Planet, Our Health.

In this context, Ayush Ministry will celebrate Yoga Mahotsav to demonstrate a common yoga protocol on this day. Many Union ministers, MPs, yoga gurus, and others will attend the event. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla will be the chief guest at the event.

India celebrates Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to commemorate 75 years of the country’s independence.

When the days are counted down, the International Day of Yoga will come on the 75th day from tomorrow. The 8th International Yoga Day will be celebrated on June 21, 2022.  To celebrate the day, the Ayush Ministry proposes to celebrate at 75 iconic sites in the country.
