The Andhra Pradesh government has launched an elaborate programme titled 'Yogaandhra-2026' to mark International Yoga Day on June 21, setting a target of engaging one crore citizens across the state in yoga activities, from village level to the state capital.

The flagship event will be held in Amaravati, where 25,000 participants are expected to gather for a state-level yoga session. In the fortnight leading up to the day, awareness drives, walkathons, social media campaigns, and demonstration events will be conducted under the Yogaandhra banner from June 7 to June 20.

District-wise thematic approach

In what officials describe as a distinctive feature of this year's observance, each of the state's 28 districts has been assigned a specific community or occupational group as its theme. NTR district will conduct sessions with police personnel, while East Godavari will involve prison inmates. Visakhapatnam's programme is themed around serving and retired defence personnel, and Alluri Sitarama Raju district will focus on tribal communities.

Other notable pairings include Kurnool with sanitation workers, Tirupati with celebrities, Anantapur with persons with disabilities, and YSR Kadapa with multi-generational family participation. Guntur district's sessions will centre on engineering students, while Prakasam will engage DWACRA women's groups. Each district headquarters is required to ensure a minimum of 1,000 participants.

Infrastructure and digital outreach

Competitions in yoga will be held at village, mandal, district, and state levels, with participation open to students, athletes, women's self-help groups, health workers, and industrial labourers, among others. Venues including schools, parks, community halls, stadiums, and gram sachivalayams will be equipped with drinking water, seating, and temporary shelters.

Oversight of the programme at the district level has been entrusted to the respective Collectors. The Tourism Department has been directed to organise special yoga demonstrations at more than 100 tourist sites across the state.

To streamline participation, the government plans to develop a dedicated web portal and an AI-based registration and verification application. Digital certificates will be issued to all participants upon completion.

Telangana, Hyderabad ( Journalist File ) : BRS Executive President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) has assured the victims of land acquisition in Laggacherla that their demands will be raised in the upcoming Assembly sessions. On Friday, a delegation of Laggacherla land acquisition victims met KTR at Telangana Bhavan, where they detailed the issues they have been facing. KTR expressed solidarity with the victims, assuring them that the government would stand by them in their fight for justice.

The victims have been demanding that the state government immediately withdraw the land acquisition notification. In response, KTR vowed that the BRS party would continue to support the people's struggle until the land acquisition process in Laggacherla is revoked. "We will fight for the rights of the people, especially until the notification is completely rescinded," he said.

KTR further demanded the government to withdraw all cases filed against the tribal communities in Laggacherla, calling the charges unjust. "It is unacceptable for the government to target the tribal population and farmers with baseless cases while they are simply fighting for their rightful land," he said.

During the meeting, KTR also spoke with the district police superintendent over the phone, urging an end to the harassment of the victims through unlawful police cases. "It is a grave injustice to file false cases against those fighting for their land," he added.

KTR reminded the government of the earlier success in the Laggacherla struggle, where the notification was withdrawn after the victims’ persistent protests. He reiterated that the BRS would not allow the land to be taken for an industrial corridor under the guise of development.

The BRS leader also criticized the alleged misuse of tribal lands for private interests, pointing out the example of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao’s family reportedly seeking 500 acres of land in Velandand for industrial use. "Taking land from the tribals is an act of cruelty," KTR stated.

KTR also extended support to Patnam Narender Reddy, the former Kodangal MLA, who is currently incarcerated under controversial charges. "Though he is in jail, the BRS party will stand with the victims of Laggacherla in their fight for justice," KTR concluded.
