10th Edition of the International Yoga Day
The initiative for "Yoga Day" was introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his 2014 address to the United Nations. The proposal garnered widespread global support, with 177 nations co-sponsoring the resolution in the United Nations General Assembly, where it passed unanimously.
As a result, the first International Yoga Day was celebrated successfully on June 21, 2015, across the globe, including in cities such as New York, Paris, Beijing, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, and New Delhi.
