modern life has greatly challenged our ability to lead a healthy life. Stress has
reached a point of great concern. We at ICAI, is conscious of work life
balance and firmly believe in balancing mind and body to reduce stress. Yoga
can harness an individual's inner & physical strength.”
He further
added “All our CA members and families participated with great enthusiasm today
in International Day of Yoga. I firmly
believe that we should not promote Yoga only one day but to make it a part and
parcel of everyday life, its practice is a never ending process.”
CA. Atul Kumar Gupta, Vice-President, ICAI said “In
order to maintain a balance between the professional work life & health,
daily practice of Yoga is essential. The habit of practicing Yoga must be
cultivated in our daily lives to enjoy the work life balance. Today, CA Members,
Students & their families participated in mass Yoga sessions to reap the
benefit of Yoga.”

International Day of Yoga since 2015 by involving the CA fraternity through its
Regional Councils, Branches & overseas chapters spread across the globe. Though
ICAI is making tremendous contribution to the business and industry for the
growth and development of Indian economy, however, the ICAI has always
supported government flagship programmes from time to time and has been taking
several initiatives for general societal benefit in line with its tradition as
partner in nation-building.
