21st June 2021: International Yoga Day is celebrated every year on 21st June since 2015 following its inception in the United Nations General Assembly in 2014. A record of 177 countries supported the resolution. This year’s theme is 'Yoga for well-being’, when the world is still recovering from the impact of the COVID pandemic.
We at Bharti Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Bharti Enterprises also celebrated International Yoga Day on virtual mode with our 40,000 student in 183 Satya Bharti schools in rural India. The virtual event started with meditation, followed by awareness messages on the health benefits of Yoga after which all the children participated in various fitness exercises through yoga while being safe within their home.
In times like these, where our interactions are mostly virtual, celebration of events and interactions like these helps in keeping students engaged.
