Pankaj Nath, Assam: Under the initiative of PM Shree Gaonwe Gaonwe Jog Maha Abhijan, an 11-day integrated yoga training programme was organised in Kamrup district, Assam . The valedictory programme was held on Monday at the Conference Hall of the Integrated DC Office, Amingaon, where the District Commissioner, Kamrup, Deba Kumar Mishra, presented certificates of appreciation to the trainers in recognition of their contribution to the successful conduct of the programme. He subsequently distributed certificates to the participants who successfully completed the training.
Addressing the gathering, the District Commissioner highlighted the growing acceptance of yoga across the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He informed the gathering that the initiative was launched by the Governor of Assam, Lakshman Prasad Acharya, on June 21, 2026, at Gandhi Ashram, Sualkuchi. Referring to the historical significance of the venue, he noted that Mahatma Gandhi had visited the renowned silk weaving town on January 9, 1946, making it a fitting location for the launch of the initiative.
The District Commissioner urged schools and colleges to actively promote awareness about the benefits of yoga among students and the wider community. He expressed hope that more yoga centres would be established across the district in the future, enabling greater public participation in the practice. He also encouraged the trainees to carry forward the knowledge and skills acquired during the programme to every village, stating that their journey from the training centre to “Gaonwe Gaonwe” marks the beginning of a larger movement to make yoga accessible to all. The programme was also attended by Additional District Commissioner (Health) Monika Borgohain; CM&HO (CD); District Nodal Officer, AYUSH Mission; DPM (NHM) and other concerned officials.
