On June 21, the International Yoga Day at the Aligarh Muslim University will be celebrated in a grand way, said registrar Abdul Hamid.
Giving details of the event planned for that day, he said “AMU has been observing International Yoga Day since 2015, but this year it will be done in a big way. The celebrations will be marked by a series of events beginning June 15...some prominent yoga exponents have been invited to deliver lectures and hold workshops.”
"A special feature of this year's event will be a four-day-long training programme, especially for girls. It will be organized by the Department of Physical Education," he added. The week-long program is being organized under the aegis of the Department of Physical Education at AMU.
The university authorities made the public announcement about the event after fake reports of AMU not celebrating the International Yoga Day surfaced on media.
