ITANAGAR, Jun 21: On the occasion of the International Day of Yoga on Sunday, Governor Brig. (Dr.) B.D. Mishra (Retd.) and First Lady of the state Neelam Misra, going by this year’s theme of ‘Yoga at Home and Yoga with Family’, practiced yoga here at Raj Bhavan in a non-congregative manner with a few family members due to Covid restrictions.
Urging the state’s citizens to practice yoga daily, Governor while sharing his association with yoga recalled that he learnt the holistic science at the age of 40 from the Vivekananda Kendra in Kanyakumari and since 1978 it has been a part of his daily routine. He also acknowledged Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts that led to the UN declaration of June 21 as the International Day of Yoga.
The First lady, who for the last four decades has also been an ardent yoga practitioner, thanked all her Yoga Gurus from whom she learnt the intricate details of the asanas and the PM for his role in promotion of yoga on a global scale. 
Both the Governor and First Lady expressed confidence that practising yoga will greatly benefit the state’s people, particularly the youths. PRO Raj Bhavan
