Registrations on the Yoga Sangam Portal have crossed the six lakh mark ahead of the 12th International Day of Yoga (IDY) 2026, reflecting widespread participation by institutions and communities across the country, the Ministry of AYUSH said on Saturday.
According to the ministry, organisations registered under the Yoga Sangam initiative will conduct synchronised yoga sessions based on the Common Yoga Protocol (CYP) and join Prime Minister Narendra Modi in celebrating International Day of Yoga on June 21.
The ministry said the initiative has witnessed participation from all States and Union Territories, covering 778 districts across the country. More than 3.22 lakh government institutions and nearly two lakh educational institutions have registered on the portal. Over 16,000 private organisations, 5,000 non-governmental organisations and around 44,000 entities from other categories have also enrolled.
West Bengal has recorded the highest number of registrations with over 2.76 lakh organisations, followed by Rajasthan with nearly 1.50 lakh registrations. Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Chhattisgarh have also reported significant participation.
The Ministry of AYUSH said the Yoga Sangam Portal has emerged as a key platform for registration, coordination and participation tracking, enabling institutions to organise yoga sessions in their respective localities while remaining part of a nationwide programme.
This year’s International Day of Yoga is being observed under the theme “Yoga for Healthy Ageing”, highlighting yoga’s role in promoting healthier and more active lives across generations.
The ministry said the growing registrations reflect the spirit of Jan Bhagidari and India’s collective commitment towards making yoga a community-driven celebration of health and harmony.
