Prime Minister Modi is a staunch proponent of yoga.
Due to his tireless efforts, the United Nations General Assembly in 2014 declared June 21 as International Yoga Day.
Chopin shared her views on how yoga can bring happiness and promote overall well-being. They also exchanged views on the growing interest in yoga due to the International Day of Yoga celebrations. On June 21 this year, Modi led a high-profile yoga session at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to celebrate the 9th International Day of Yoga.
