Brief about the Program (Activity/Event):

Recognizing yoga’s profound impact on health and well-being, the united nation officially declared June 21 as International yoga day, which is now a global celebration. Each year, million around the world pause to acknowledge the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits that yoga offers.

Like every year, this year too, International yoga day was celebrated on grand scale in our college on 21st June 2025. The event was graced by the presence of our Principal, Dr.Pournima Naik along with the teaching, non-teaching staff and students. Under the able guidance of the yoga instructor, Mrs.Geeta Shinde, students performed various yoga asanas with enthusiasm and discipline.

The program was hosted on the college campus and was well organized. The program began early in the morning with an introductory speech highlighting the origin, importance, and relevance of yoga in today’s fast-paced world. This was followed by a mass yoga session led by the experienced yoga instructor, Mrs. Geeta Shinde, who guided participants through a series of asanas, breathing exercise (Pranayama), and meditation techniques. The session aimed to promote physical flexibility, mental clarity, and emotional calmness. A vote of thanks proposed by Dr. Satish Waghmare.
