New Delhi, June 8 (IANS) While listing the benefits of Yoga, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said practicing Yoga "has become the mantra of new
India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi". "The practice and propagation of Yoga has led to a healthy life, healthy living, wellness and prevention of
diseases," he said in a statement. "Yoga is one of India's gifts to the world and has become the mantra of new India under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. Yoga has been
universally acknowledged by the United Nations and is now practiced globally around 200 countries on June 21 every year." Acknowledging the positive role media played in disseminating
the outreach of Yoga in India and abroad, Javadekar said the I&B Ministry has instituted the first Antarashtriya Yoga Diwas Media Samman (AYDMS) in 2019 to mark the contribution of media
in spreading the message of Yoga. AYDMS will be conferred to print and electronic media houses. The contribution of the media in popularising Yoga would be assessed by six juries. A total
of 33 awards, under three categories, will be conferred. The award will comprise a special medal, plaque and trophy and a citation. The duration of the coverage for AYDMS would be from June
10 to June 25. (This story was auto-published from a syndicated feed. No part of the story has been edited by THE QUINT.)
