On September 27, 2014, the idea of International Yoga Day was first mooted by Prime Minister Modi in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly. With the universal recognition and increasing popularity of yoga, the United Nations declared 21 June as International Yoga Day on 11 December 2014.
