PSUs Unite for Wellness

In a powerful display of unity and wellness, the India Tourism Development Corporation ( ITDC ), a public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, marked the International Day of Yoga 2025 with a rejuvenating yoga session at The Ashok, New Delhi. Organised in collaboration with the Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE), the session brought together over 100 participants, including representatives from 25 Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs), officials from the Ministry of Finance’s Department of Public Enterprises, and esteemed instructors from the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY).

Embracing the global theme, ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health’, the event went beyond being a ceremonial observance—it became a shared space of reflection, breathwork, and mindfulness that transcended organisational boundaries. It reaffirmed the growing recognition that wellness is not just an individual pursuit but a collective responsibility.

Senior leadership from across the public sector spectrum attended the session, with Chairpersons, Managing Directors, and senior officials from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (BPCL), Cement Corporation of India Ltd. (CCIL), Electronics Corporation of India Ltd. (ECIL), National Divyangjan Finance & Development Corporation (NDFC), National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC), ITI Ltd., National Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation (NSFDC), NBCC (India) Ltd., and more marking their presence. NHPC’s participation stood out for embodying the link between environmental consciousness and holistic health, echoing the day’s theme of interconnected well-being.

Speaking at the event, Ms. Mugdha Sinha, IAS, Managing Director, ITDC, captured the philosophical core of the initiative:

“Yoga is not merely a physical discipline; it is a quiet revolution rooted in self-awareness, balance, and collective well-being. This year’s theme, ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health,’ powerfully underscores the deep interconnection between our individual wellness and environmental harmony. As leaders from various PSUs unite on the same platform today, we are reminded that true progress begins with inner harmony and shared purpose.”

She further emphasized the significance of collective participation:

“This initiative embodies the ‘whole of CPSE approach,’ where all Central Public Sector Enterprises unite in pursuit of a shared wellness objective. By integrating Yoga into our institutional ethos, we’re not only nurturing healthier individuals but also contributing to a more resilient and mindful nation.”

Acknowledging the partners, she extended thanks to SCOPE and MDNIY, Ministry of AYUSH, for making the event a success.

Mr. K. P. Mahadevaswamy, Chairman, SCOPE and Chairman & Managing Director, NBCC, echoed the sentiment of collaboration and leadership grounded in wellness:

“Today, seeing so many PSU leaders come together in the spirit of unity and mindfulness reaffirms our belief that wellness must be at the heart of leadership and governance. SCOPE is proud to collaborate with ITDC to nurture a culture where soul, mind and body wellbeing becomes integral to the employees of Public Sector Undertakings.”
