On 21st June, International Yoga Day is celebrated by the NSS units of Assumption College, Changanassery. This day is celebrated every year with the objective of reminding people across the globe about the benefits of Yoga and to build enduring public interest in the same. Our NSS unit also celebrated yoga day, as per the 2021 theme “Be with Yoga, Be at Home” for building immunity and relief from stress. We organized 2 activities for the volunteers on June 21. These activities were conducted under the leadership of NSS program officers Smt. Sherin Babu and Dr Nayana Joseph. The first activity was to practice yoga at least 30 minutes and post the photos of practicing yoga and write a brief summary of the “yoga asanas” that volunteers practiced. The volunteers uploaded this activity as an assignment in Google classroom.
The second activity was to take online pledge for making Yoga – an integral part of life at https:// pledge.mygov.in/integrate-yoga-lifestyle/
This was done as per the direction of UGC and Govt. of India. The volunteers who took online pledges were awarded certificates with their name.
