The Chandigarh State Chapter Committee (SCC) of the Indian Yoga Association (IYA) convened a meeting on February 1, 2025, under the chairmanship of Sh. Ajit Handa Ji. The session saw the active participation of a dedicated team of seven members, all committed to expanding yoga awareness and community well-being.

During the meeting, Mr. Vainkat Chaudhary was introduced as a new committee member. Holding a Master’s degree in Yogic Science, he currently serves as a Yoga Teacher at PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya, Sector 31, Chandigarh. His inclusion brings valuable expertise to the committee’s ongoing initiatives.

A key agenda item was the launch of daily Yoga coaching sessions catering to all age groups, to be conducted under the guidance of Mr. Vainkat Chaudhary. The committee is actively working to identify a suitable venue where participants will be provided with Yog Asana accessories to enhance their practice.

In addition to promoting yoga, the committee proposed organizing an Annual Blood Donation Camp, with its inaugural event planned for 2025. A detailed action plan and implementation strategies for this initiative will be developed and shared in due course.

The meeting reaffirmed the Chandigarh SCC’s commitment to fostering holistic health and social welfare through yoga and community service initiatives.
