2024 Theme: Yoga for self and society

This year marks the 10th International Day of Yoga with the theme “Yoga for Self and Society.” Yoga, a transformative practice, represents the harmony of mind and body, the balance between thought and action, and the unity of restraint and fulfillment. It integrates the body, mind, spirit, and soul, offering a holistic approach to health and well-being that brings peace to our hectic lives. Its power to transform is what we celebrate on this special day. 

Dr. S. Rajeshwar Rao, MD., Principal, GMC, Khammam celebrated this International Yoga Day in college premises with students, faculty and staff of Government Medical College/Government General Hospital, Khammam.
