Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged gram panchayat heads to make holistic health a people-led movement by spreading awareness about yoga and millets. In a letter to Gram Pradhans, the Prime Minister said that organising Yoga based programmes in Panchayat premises, schools, Anganwadis, Community Health centres and other such places would catalyze to inspire people, particularly youth, to embrace sustainable and stress-free lifestyles.
Extending greetings to all residents of village panchayats for the 10th International Yoga Day, Mr Modi highlighted this celebration as a testament to the global impact of yoga and its positive influence on people’s lives. He emphasised that this year’s theme, Yoga for Self and Society will further bolster the government’s efforts to build a healthy nation.
The Prime Minister also underscored that Yoga is a gift of the country’s ancient culture that helps pursue holistic health and wellness. The practice of Yoga strengthens us physically and mentally. He noted that just as Yoga is essential for the body and mind, superfoods such as millets, also known as Shree Anna, promote good health through nutrition.
