In preparing for the 2025 event, the government seeks to amplify its impact, encouraging the participation of global communities.

Key initiatives discussed included Yoga Sangam, Harit Yoga, Yoga Connect, and Yoga Bandhan, each designed to integrate yoga with various institutions and communities, emphasizing eco-consciousness and social unity. The plan aims to reach youth, educational bodies, and leaders to spread the message of 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health.'
