The Yoga Day event was celebrated on June 21 with the national capital entering the guinness world record with 35,985 people performing various asanas at one venue and 84 nationalities being part of it. "Rajpath became 'Yogpath' on World Yoga Day. World Yoga Day tells us that the world is curious to know about India and we must tell the world about our culture, we have to be proud of our culture."
The Yoga Day event was managed by AYUSH Minister Sripad Naik and the Prime Minister appreciated the efforts put in by the ministry to make it a huge success.
Listing the schemes launched by his government and it success, Modi said, "When Jan Dhan Accounts had to be opened the bank employees became very active and did the work."

The Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana provides accident and disability cover, the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and the Atal Pension Yojana are the life insurance schemes.
Giving social security scheme as a gift to sisters on Raksha Bandhan, Modi said, "Last month we launched 3 social security schemes. In a short time more than 10 crore people can benefit from these schemes. On Raksha Bandhan can we present these schemes worth Rs 12 or Rs 330 to our sisters? Can we do a jan andolan ahead of Raksha bandhan? Let's support the women in our lives."
Modi also mentioned efforts put in by the sarpanch of Haryana's Bibipur village to carry forward his 'Beti Bachao, Beti padhao' campaign by starting a 'Selfie with daughter' campaign online.

Haryana is also one of the states where sex ratio is dismally low.

There is AYUSH department but it never drew much attention. On Yoga Day it was the AYUSH department that led the way, he said.
