All dental and nursing colleges across India have received an urgent directive from the Dental Council of India and the Indian Nursing Council to ensure their mandatory registration for the “International Yoga Sangam 2025,” a significant event leading up to the 11th International Day of Yoga (IDY) on June 21, 2025. Institutions are being pressed to complete their registration and upload necessary details.
The directive underscores the government’s widespread initiative to promote yoga and wellness across various sectors, including healthcare education. Participation in the International Yoga Sangam is deemed crucial for fostering health and well-being among students and faculty within dental institutions, who are future custodians of public health.
Steps for Dental Colleges
Dental colleges are required to follow a two-step process to comply with this ministerial mandate:
- Online Registration for IDY 2025: Institutions must first register their participation for IDY 2025 on the Ministry’s designated portal.
- Updating Details on Google Form: Following successful registration on the Yoga Sangam portal, colleges are then mandated to update their participation details in a dedicated “Dental Colleges” tab within a specified Google Form. This second step ensures that the Ministry has a consolidated record of all participating dental institutions.
Steps for Nursing Colleges
The Indian Nursing Council has requested nursing colleges and institutions to register in Yoga Sangam and upload registration information in the google form by June 19, 2025
This tight deadline emphasizes the importance of immediate action from all nursing colleges to ensure their compliance and contribution to this national health initiative.
The collective participation of dental colleges and nursing colleges in the International Yoga Sangam 2025 will not only contribute to the widespread celebration of yoga but also serve to integrate wellness practices into the demanding curriculum and lifestyle of future dental professionals. Institutions are advised to complete both registration and detail submission without delay to meet the stringent deadline.
