NCL to raise yoga awareness among 25,000 people in massive campaign ahead of International Yoga Day

Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL), a Miniratna company under the Ministry of Coal, has launched a week-long campaign to promote yoga and its health benefits in the Singrauli region. The drive, running from June 15 to June 20, aims to connect nearly 25,000 people through various community-oriented programs in preparation for International Yoga Day (IDY) on June 21.

This year’s IDY theme, “One Earth, One Health,” reflects the growing understanding of the deep connection between human health and the health of the planet. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, International Yoga Day has grown into a global movement fostering well-being, peace, and harmony worldwide through the ancient wisdom of yoga.

NCL’s campaign is designed to inspire physical well-being, mental peace, and a strong bond with nature and community. The company also plans to integrate yoga as a sustainable practice within its workplace and promote ongoing health initiatives for employees, their families, and local stakeholders.

The initiative includes yoga awareness rallies targeting all community members — employees, contractual workers, students, and residents of the surrounding areas. Creative competitions such as essay writing and poster making have been organized to encourage local youth to reflect on yoga’s role in health and well-being.

Public yoga sessions adhering to the Common Yoga Protocol (CYP) will be held for participants of all ages, from children to senior citizens. Additionally, workshops in schools and colleges aim to instill the habit of yoga in young learners.

On June 21, over 10,000 people are expected to participate in coordinated yoga sessions across all NCL areas and units, making it a grand celebration of International Yoga Day.
