On 9 January 2023, during Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, the Abhiyan began with some Yog Mitras conducting morning yoga sessions for NRI guests at various hotels in Indore, marking the start of the initiative. From there, today it has expanded to every ward of Indore, where citizens have developed the habit of practicing yoga regularly at their respective ward sheds.

The Journey of Yog Mitra Abhiyan
Yog Mitra Abhiyan is a unique initiative started in Indore to connect cleanliness with health through the practice of yoga. What began as a simple idea has now become a city-wide movement.
1. The Thought
The idea emerged from discussions about linking Indore’s cleanliness mission with the health of its citizens. Years of experience organizing yoga camps revealed a gap — people had no place to continue yoga after the camps ended.
2. The Beginning
Yog Mitra Abhiyan was officially launched on 15 November 2022 from Ward 42, Saket Nagar with the vision of creating a healthier Indore.
3. The Expansion
What started in a few wards gradually expanded across the entire city. Yoga sheds and dedicated spaces were developed to ensure citizens could practice yoga regularly.
4. The Impact
Today, more than 140 yoga centers are operating across Indore, encouraging citizens to adopt yoga as part of their daily lifestyle.
5. The Movement Today
Yog Mitra Abhiyan has become a community-driven initiative where thousands of people gather daily to practice yoga, strengthening both physical health and social connection.
