AMSIMR proudly celebrated the International Day of Yoga 2025, bringing together students, faculty, and staff to reflect on the timeless value of Yoga in our modern lives. The event was thoughtfully curated to highlight Yoga’s growing global relevance and its significance for future professionals.
The session began with a welcome note by Prof. Parth Bal, setting the tone for the afternoon’s proceedings. He emphasized the importance of wellness and mental clarity in today’s fast-paced world. A brief yet insightful introduction explained why June 21st—the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year—is globally recognized as International Day of Yoga. This segment traced the origins of IDY, initiated by India and endorsed by the United Nations in 2014.
The event proceeded on to unveiling the official theme for IDY 2025: “One Earth, One Health.” The theme highlights the interconnectedness of human well-being and planetary health. It emphasizes that true wellness can only be achieved when we care not only for ourselves but also for the environment around us. Yoga, as a practice that harmonizes the body, mind, and spirit with nature, serves as a perfect embodiment of this vision. A short video presentation complemented the theme, offering a visual perspective on its core message.
A focused session addressed the audience—especially the students—on the critical relevance of Yoga as they prepare to transition into the demanding world of business and corporate careers. The discussion highlighted how Yoga cultivates mental agility, emotional resilience, and mindfulness—key traits for effective leadership and decision-making.
A specially curated video montage showcased how the spirit of IDY is embraced across continents, reinforcing Yoga’s universal appeal and ability to connect diverse cultures through well-being.
The floor was then opened for students and staff to share their personal experiences with Yoga—how it helped them manage stress, stay focused, or improve their overall lifestyle. This interactive segment brought a warm, personal touch to the event.
The event concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks by Prof.Parth Bal, acknowledging the contributions of all participants and organizers who made the celebration meaningful and inspiring.
AMSIMR’s IDY 2025 celebration was a reminder that wellness, balance, and inner strength are as vital to success as are knowledge and skill.
