Ranchi: The Indian Institute of Management, Ranchi organised a yoga session today on the occasion of International Yoga Day.

Introduced by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi during his 2014 address to the United Nations General Assembly, International Yoga Day is celebrated to create awareness on the immense benefits and transformative power of yoga. It aims to unite individuals, communities and organisations and encourage them to adopt a healthier and more peaceful lifestyle. This year, the theme for Yoga Day is ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (‘One World-One Family’), emphasising the very spirit of this activity.

A one-hour meditative session was conducted on account of International Yoga Day, emphasising on postures or ‘aasanas’ set to soul-soothing music. The Honourable Director, Prof. Deepak Kumar Srivastava, faculty members and students took part in the session both in person and virtually, revelling in the beauty and simplicity of self-exploration and meditation.
