Led by Chairperson, Justice Shri H. L. Dattu, the Members, officers and staff of the National Human Rights Commission joined the world in celebration of the second International Yoga Day on the 21st June, 2016 by performing yogic exercises in the Commission's premises. Earlier, addressing the gathering, Justice Shri Dattu expressed the hope that this great momentum set forth on the international stage will help build a healthier comity of nations.
He said that India's ancient heritage of yoga is a comprehensive discipline of physical, mental and spiritual practices for the union of body and thought with nature. It should be an integral part of the people from all walks of life. It is with this spirit that the Commission has been also conducting yoga classes for its employees for over a year now to enable them foster good health and thus, bring to bear a more positive attitude and vitality in their work towards the protection and promotion of human rights of the citizens of the country.
