Karkala, Jun 24: Jaycees International English Medium School, Karkala in association with JCI Karkala celebrated International Yoga Day.

Inaugurating the event, Lakshminarayana Acharya emphasized the importance of learning yoga early in life. “We often spend a lot of money on healthcare, but if we practice yoga from the beginning, we can remain disease-free. Yoga is a gift from our ancient Indian tradition. Along with academics, the Jaycees School is also instilling strong values and culture in the children,” he said.
