1. Mission Statement
“To build a healthy, peaceful, and productive India by making Yoga a part of every citizen’s lifestyle — ensuring physical strength, mental clarity, and emotional balance.”
Vision:
An India where every household practices Yoga for health, harmony, and happiness.
Tagline:
“Healthy Body, Calm Mind – Yoga Kawach for Every Indian.”
2. Background and Need
India is the birthplace of Yoga, yet lifestyle diseases, stress, and physical inactivity have grown drastically. Despite the global popularity of Yoga, its practice in daily Indian life remains limited.
