The 9th International Day of Yoga, with the theme "Yoga for Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam," was celebrated on June 21, 2023. This year's theme beautifully encapsulates our collective aspiration for "One Earth, One Family, and One Future." This year Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the global yoga celebration from the United Nations headquarters in New York.

The NSS Unit at SVPCET enthusiastically celebrated the International Yoga Day on June 21, 2023. As part of the celebration, a one-hour yoga session was organised from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm for NSS students and first-year B.Tech students. Dr. Sonali Kakde Patil, a certified yoga teacher from Nagpur, guided the students and commenced the yoga session with prayers, followed by a systematic practice of various standing, sitting, and lying asanas. Throughout the "YOGABHYAS" session, the yoga teacher also explained the benefits of different asanas as precautionary measures and their role in curing various diseases, emphasizing the overall well-being of individuals through yoga.

The program was coordinated by Dr. Ashlesha Nagpure, NSS Program Officer.
