On June 19, an essay writing competition on yoga was organised at the Convention Centre of the university.
"There were a total of 48 participants in two separate categories - children and youth. On June 20, a lecture was delivered by Yogi Dr Ved Vrat Alok on the importance of yoga in day-to-day life followed by chanting of mantras and meditation," the statement said.
Today, a large number of faculty members, students, staff, alumni and their family members gathered at the JNU campus for the celebrations.
