The word ‘yoga’ is derived from Sanskrit which means ‘to join’/to unite’. On 11 December 2014, United Nations General Assembly declared to celebrate International Day of Yoga on 21st June every year by resolution
69/131. No doubt in Indian history, the declaration of the International Day of Yoga is a great and proud moment.
Finally, it was declared on 11 December 2014 by the United Nations General Assembly. First time in history it happened that the initiative of any country has been proposed and implemented by the UN within 90 days. Sam Kutesa, President of UN General Assembly, announced to celebrate the International Yoga Day on June 21 and more than 170 countries supported the Yoga Day proposal. From this it came to light that people also know about the benefits of yoga, some of which are visible and some are invisible. IEM also celebrates International Yoga Day with the faculty members and their students.
