Silicon University celebrated International Day of Yoga on 21 June 2025.
International Day of Yoga is observed worldwide on 21 June to promote awareness about the numerous physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga. It serves as a global reminder to embrace a healthier lifestyle through this ancient Indian practice. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) encourages technical institutes across India to undertake various yoga-related activities, to raise awareness and promote health and fitness.
The core objective of the yoga day event was to encourage the regular practice of yoga for improved physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance. By combining traditional asanas with meditation, the program aimed to foster holistic well-being among the students, staff and faculty members.
The participants engaged in a morning of wellness and mindfulness. The session was conducted by our yoga instructor Mr. Prashant Kumar Mallik and featured various asanas including sukhasana, padmasana, trikonasana, bhujangasana, and paschimottanasana. This was followed by a twenty minute dhyana yoga (meditation) session conducted by Dr. Subhashree Prusty, Faculty Coordinator of the Eco-Social Club.
As the session concluded, participants felt rejuvenated and centered, embracing the calm and clarity that yoga brings. The event reinforced the importance of integrating yoga into daily life for sustained well-being and inner harmony.
