Indian Council for Cultural Relations(ICCR) launched a Global video blogging competition: “My Life My Yoga” in June 2020.

Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the competition elicited an overwhelming response from across the globe, presumably in part because of enhanced interest in Yoga as a means of maintaining health in the fight against Covid 19.

As a result, a very large number of participants uploaded videos for this global video blogging competition entitled “My Life My Yoga” from around the world.

As statistics showed, the maximum number of entries were from Bangladesh.
