Yoga day is now celebrated internationally and people from more than 170 nations are practicing it. India has been a model to other countries with its rich treasures like yoga. Yoga should reach not only urban areas but should also be practiced in rural areas. The Ayush department should take the lead to create awareness about yoga for the rural population, he added.

Priyanka Mary Francis, CEO of Udupi Zilla Panchayat said that yoga was India’s gift to the world to overcome stress and develop a healthy body and mind.
