Since its inception in the year 2015, June 21st is celebrated as The International Day of Yoga all over the world. This idea was proposed by our Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. He said, “Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment, harmony between man and nature, a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help in well being.”
International Yoga Day was organised and celebrated by the faculty and staff member of Allenhouse group of colleges with great enthusiasm under the guidance of Director (Administration) Mrs. Kirti Malhotra ma’am, The yoga session took place at Zahida Convention Centre, headed by Director (Allenhouse Institute of Technology) Dr. G.G.
