Prime Minister Narendra Modi says International Day of Yoga has grown into the world’s largest community celebration. Speaking at the 12th International Day of Yoga events in Kolkata, he links the day to June 21, described as the “longest day on Earth,” noting that it is now widely recognised as a day dedicated to yoga.
Modi also refers to the theme of this year’s International Day of Yoga, “Yoga for Healthy Ageing.” He says the ancient practice supports physical health and mental well-being and helps people maintain active ageing. The reporting emphasizes his remarks on yoga’s broad public uptake and its role in health and longevity.
The articles present the same core claims: Modi’s statements on June 21’s global yoga recognition, the focus on healthy ageing, and yoga’s perceived benefits for both physical and mental well-being, as made during the official celebrations in Kolkata.
