During the Covid pandemic, when there were no medicines or vaccines available, many people turned to yoga to combat the disease and experienced significant relief. “Today, yoga is celebrated as a festival. In modern times, everyone’s life has become hectic, leading to mental stress. Yoga not only alleviates stress, but also energises the body. A healthy body accelerates personal and societal development,” he said.

Saini also released a booklet, “Yoga Protocol”, of the Haryana Yoga Aayog and inaugurated two vyayamshalas in Hisar district.

He announced a reward of Rs 2 lakh for school students who performed yoga during the event and honoured several social institutions associated with yoga.

Health Minister Kamal Gupta said states like Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan had evinced interest in learning about the process of opening yoga centres and vyayamshalas.
