The Ministry of Ayush is promoting the theme ‘Yoga for Unity’ on the occasion of National Unity Day 2026, marking the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
The initiative, linked to the Yoga 365 campaign, aims to encourage citizens to practise Yoga daily while promoting national integration, social harmony and collective well-being. Yoga and Naturopathy institutions across the country have been encouraged to organise community activities and awareness programmes.
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Ayush Prataprao Jadhav said Yoga brings people together beyond differences in age, region and background, while promoting physical and mental well-being.
Ayush Secretary Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha highlighted that Yoga 365 encourages year-round practice and makes preventive healthcare part of everyday life. The campaign seeks to strengthen community participation and promote a healthier and more united India.
