A mock drill was conducted on Tuesday for the mega event. It was conducted for smooth management of yoga session. Entry and exit of the participants, seating arrangements and the distance between participants to be kept during yoga session etc, were reviewed.
Neheru Yuva Kendra Society (NYKS) and NCC are participating actively in the initiative of all oil marketing companies. 18 yoga instructors of different institutes of Bhubaneswar will impart training as per the protocol on the International Yoga Day.
Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan will be the chief guest of the programme and Mananiya V Bhagaiah Ji, Akhil Bharatiya Saha Sarkaryabaha Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangha, will be the chief speaker and inaugurator of the yoga session.
During the mock drill, the yoga instructors highlighted the importance of yoga in everyone’s life and said yoga is the best practice to make the entire universe healthy and it’s a noble contribution of saints and sages of our country. With the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, yoga has got national accreditation, for which we are grateful and proud. If everyone will practise yoga for one hour every day, then they would not have to go to doctors, said yoga teachers.
