GUWAHATI, June 21: Punjab National Bank (PNB) celebrated the 8th International Yoga Day by highlighting the importance of physical and mental well-being for all its employees. The PNB family came together and took part in multiple early morning interactive yoga sessions focusing on stress management, relaxation techniques, and breathing exercises across all the zones, circles, and the PNB head office. This year’s theme – ‘Yoga for Humanity’ focuses on instilling empathy and togetherness within people. Notably, the Indian Prime Minister paid tribute to everyone for coming together to alleviate the suffering during Covid-19 with kindness, compassion, and unity.
Thanking the staff members, Atul Kumar Goel, MD & CEO of PNB, said, “Success of an organisation is directly related to the health of its employees in terms of increasing efficiency, productivity and focus. Yoga, a 3000-year-old practice, is a proven tool to enhance mindfulness, relaxation, and flexibility which leads to the oneness of mind and body. Hence, the idea for the UN-mandated International Day of Yoga first proposed by India’s Hon’ble Prime Minister was supported by 177 other countries.”
PNB’s initiative this year marks a stepping stone toward building a harmonious society by inculcating and spreading the disciplines of an ancient Indian practice of Yoga for the overall well-being of the community.
