The main event was held at CSOI, Vinay Marg, New Delhi, where over 300 participants — including officials, staff, and their families — gathered for an invigorating morning yoga session. The session was led by Secretary, Ministry of Mines, Shri V. L. Kantha Rao, who also planted a sapling on the occasion, symbolizing harmony with nature.
Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Ministry has taken proactive steps to embed yoga into the everyday routine of its workforce. As part of this initiative, field organizations under the Ministry of Mines organized yoga sessions at over 81 locations across India. These included mine sites, geo-heritage parks, corporate offices, regional units, and public spaces, bringing together employees, local residents, students, and families.
The celebrations aimed not just at physical fitness but also at fostering mental clarity, discipline, and collective well-being — a reflection of the Ministry’s commitment to holistic development and environmental responsibility.
