Embracing the global theme for International Yoga Day 2026, “Yoga for Healthy Ageing”, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) observed the 12th International Yoga Day with great enthusiasm and zeal across all its Battalions and at the Headquarters in New Delhi.

Yoga plays a vital role in helping people lead healthy, active, self-reliant, and mentally resilient life as they age. Recognizing the importance of Yoga, the International Day of Yoga is observed annually on June 21 to promote the profound benefits of yoga and encourage healthy living worldwide.

To mark the occasion, DG NDRF, alongwith other senior officers and 250 rescuers, participated in the Yoga Day celebration, conducted by instructors of NDRF at Nehru Park, Delhi.

In addition to the yoga session, NDRF also hosted a Free Medical Check-up and Consultation Camp at the venue. This community wellness initiative benefited several participants, including local visitors, encouraging a broader message of holistic health.
