Registrations for Yoga Sangam, the signature event marking the 11th International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2025, have crossed four lakh, setting a new benchmark for mass participation in a nationwide wellness initiative. The synchronised yoga demonstrations are set to take place at lakhs of locations across the country on June 21.
According to the Ministry of Ayush, the main event will be held in Visakhapatnam, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, and Union Minister of State for Ayush and Health, Prataprao Jadhav, will lead over five lakh participants in performing the Common Yoga Protocol. The session is scheduled from 6:30 am to 7:45 am.
Rajasthan has registered the highest number of yoga locations, with 1,38,033 organisations taking part. Andhra Pradesh has matched that figure, followed by Uttar Pradesh with 1,01,767 locations. Other states with significant participation include Madhya Pradesh (26,159), Gujarat (19,951), and Himachal Pradesh (12,000), the ministry said.
This year’s theme, ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health,’ focuses on the relationship between human well-being and planetary health. Officials said the growing response reflects the increasing popularity of yoga as a holistic health practice and its relevance in addressing modern lifestyle challenges.
Participation spans academic institutions, public sector organisations, private companies, and community-based groups. The event has drawn support from IITs, IIMs, NGOs, schools, and corporate offices alike. The Yoga Sangam portal has been used for coordination and registrations nationwide.
The Ministry described the scale of the campaign as unprecedented, adding that no previous event in India had received such a level of assured participation for a single-day, synchronised programme.
