The first International Yoga Day, 21st June, 2015 is a remarkable historical day, it is a day to be proud of our culture, our heritage, which is now gifted to the world in form of Yoga. Thanks to the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s efforts at global level, the whole world will not only perform but enthusiastically celebrate Yoga.
When the whole world is celebrating International Yoga Day, how can our Specially Abled People leg behind? Our sincere thanks to the special efforts taken by Shri R.J. Makadiya (District Collector), and the D.D.O., this wonderful practice of Yoga was celebrated with the Specially Abled People of Khambhaliya along with the Govt. employees in Khambhaliya.
