Yoga (IDY) on 21st June 2020. On this occasion, the Ministry of AYUSH and the
Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) come together to announce the My

at their homes, with participation from the entire family. Through the My Life
– My Yoga video blogging competition, the Ministry of AYUSH and ICCR seek to
raise awareness about Yoga and to inspire people to prepare for and become
active participants in the observation of IDY 2020 on 21st June 2020. The
