During the programmes, Dharmani practiced various yoga asanas alongside schoolchildren, local residents, and officials from different departments, encouraging people to adopt a healthy lifestyle. He described yoga as the foundation of a healthy and balanced life and stressed that it should be an integral part of the daily routine.
“Yoga plays a vital role not only in maintaining physical health but also in achieving mental and spiritual balance,” Dharmani said. He added that the true benefits of yoga could be realized only through consistent and correct practice. “A healthy soul resides in a healthy body. Only a healthy individual can effectively contribute to the development of the family, society, state and nation,” he stated.
Deputy Commissioner Highlights Benefits for Youth
Meanwhile, an International Yoga Day programme was also organized at the Luhnu Sports Ground complex under the joint aegis of the district Ayush Department, the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, and DAV Public School. Deputy Commissioner Rahul Kumar presided over the event and urged people to make yoga a regular part of their lives.
Kumar said yoga not only improves physical and mental health but also enhances dedication, concentration, and work efficiency. “Regular yoga practice supports the holistic development of children and helps steer the younger generation away from social evils such as drug abuse,” he noted. He emphasized the need to create greater awareness among youth about the harmful effects of drug abuse and other social challenges, while encouraging their participation in yoga and sports activities.
