Yoga provides a valuable tool for enhancing our mental resilience and physical health, allowing us to perform our duties with renewed energy and focus. By integrating these practices into our daily lives, and through our annual Yoga Day celebrations, we not only improve our well-being but also strengthen our commitment to serving the public effectively.”
