From its deep roots in ancient India, yoga has become truly universal, helping millions of people of all faiths & cultures find calm, build strength & live with purpose.

It teaches us mindfulness, respect & care for ourselves, for our planet & for one another.

On this #YogaDay, let's extend that care to the older members of our human family & build a world where every generation can lead a healthy life.

Namaste!

আজ সকালে কলকাতার রেড রোডে একটি যোগ দিবসের এক ব্যতিক্রমী কর্মসূচি অনুষ্ঠিত হয়, যেখানে প্রত্যেকের জীবনে যোগাভ্যাসের গুরুত্ব সম্পর্কে একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বার্তা প্রদানের লক্ষ্যে সমাজের সমস্ত স্তরের মানুষ অংশগ্রহণ করেন।

এবারের, মূল ভাবনা ছিল ‘সুস্থ বার্ধক্যের জন্য যোগ’, যা ফিট এবং সুস্থ থাকার জন্য সমস্ত বয়সেই যোগাভ্যাসের প্রয়োজনীয়তার ওপর গুরুত্ব আরোপ করে।

#Odisha’s rooftop solar journey is setting new benchmarks under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.

From just 3,617 installations in FY 2024-25 to 56,019 in FY 2025-26 — a remarkable 31-fold growth in rooftop solar adoption.

With 52,991 installations added in the first two months of FY 2026-27, Odisha has now crossed 1.12 lakh rooftop solar installations, transforming homes into clean energy hubs across the State.

Supported by the MNRE-approved Utility-Led Aggregation (ULA) model for 1.5 lakh connections, rooftop solar is becoming more affordable, accessible and impactful than ever before.

Lower bills. Cleaner energy. Brighter future.
