PM Modi said that when we do ‘yoga for healthy old age’ When we talk about, it means that we try to ensure that aging does not limit human potential. Yoga can inspire human life towards continuous development and self-improvement.
He said, ‘Our goal should be that at the age of 40 we are more flexible than at the age of 20. Our goal should be that at the age of 50 we are more energetic than at the age of 30. Our goal should be that at the age of 70 we have greater immunity to lifestyle diseases than we did at the age of 50. This is the area where yoga can help us.”
