The 'Yogandhra' campaign in Andhra Pradesh has gained significant traction with over one crore yoga enthusiasts registering ahead of the International Day of Yoga on June 21, as confirmed by the state's Health Department on Saturday.
The TDP-led NDA administration is spearheading efforts to raise awareness about yoga, starting May 29, across the state as part of the month-long initiative.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to join the yoga day celebrations in Visakhapatnam on June 21, underlining the national importance of this event.
The 'Yogandhra' programme has seen an impressive turnout, with 1.13 crore registrations reported by Friday night, slightly over the halfway mark of the government's two crore target for the month-long drive.
In preparation for the International Day of Yoga, large-scale yoga awareness programmes are underway throughout the state, focusing on mass participation from RK Beach, Visakhapatnam to Bheemili Beach.
