The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Headquarters in New Delhi celebrated the 10th
International Day of Yoga (IDY) on 21st June 2025 with great enthusiasm and reverence. The event embraced
this year’s global theme: “Yoga for One Earth, One Health”, reflecting the universal benefits of yoga in
fostering holistic well-being for individuals and the planet.
The event was graced by the presence of senior dignitaries including Shri Ashok Kumar Singh, Director
General, ESIC, who also led the yoga session; Ms. T. L. Yaden, Financial Commissioner; Shri Deepak Joshi,
Insurance Commissioner (Benefit & Revenue); Shri Ratnesh Kumar Gautam, Insurance Commissioner (P&A
& PR); Shri Anil Kumar Sahu, Insurance Commissioner (PMD); Dr. Kamlesh Harish, Medical
Commissioner; and Dr. Ashit Mullick, Medical Commissioner (AYUSH).
Highlighting the spiritual and philosophical foundations of yoga, Shri Ashok Kumar Singh delivered an
insightful talk on “Shravanam, Mananam, Nidhidhyasanam” — the process of deep listening, reflection, and
inner realization, essential for true knowledge and transformation. He emphasized how yoga, beyond being a
physical discipline, is a profound journey towards inner harmony and universal well-being.
The event featured a guided yoga practice, reinforcing the message that yoga is accessible to all —
irrespective of age, role, or routine. The session included foundational asanas, breathing techniques, and
meditation practices curated in accordance with the Common Yoga Protocol.
The IDY 2025 theme, “Yoga for One Earth, One Health”, resonates deeply with ESIC’s commitment to
integrated health. Yoga, as a preventive and promotive health tool, aligns with ESIC’s vision of ensuring
comprehensive care for India’s workforce. The emphasis on sustainability and inner resilience through yoga
also complements global calls for climate action and public health awareness.
ESIC continues to promote wellness-based initiatives and encourages the adoption of yoga and holistic
practices across its network of dispensaries, hospitals, and offices, contributing to a healthier, more conscious
society.
