Indian Prime Minister Led The Way To International Yoga Day 2024 Celebrations, Starting From Srinagar

The theme of International Yoga Day 2024 is "Yoga for Self and Society," which emphasises Yoga's crucial role in promoting individual well-being and social harmony.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the nation on International Yoga Day, said that the world is looking forward to Yoga as an agent of global good. The PM was scheduled to address the nations on the banks of the Dal Lake to celebrate the 10th International Yoga Day, but the event was moved indoors due to incessant rain. The Prime Minister is performing Yoga in a 30-minute session; this year's theme, "Yoga for Self and Society", emphasises Yoga's important role in promoting individual well-being and social harmony.

Over these years, PM Modi has led Yoga Day celebrations at numerous landmarks, including Delhi's Kartavya Path, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Ranchi, and Jabalpur. The previous year, he led events at the UN Headquarters in New York, which was expected to bring more attention to the Srinagar programme.
