A minister will be designated to oversee the activities at each venue.

The primary objective of the initiative is to promote physical and mental well-being, while encouraging the practice of yoga among students, teachers, and the broader community.

Chhatrasal Stadium has been selected as the main venue, where around 10,000 participants will engage in yoga practice, supported by 5,000 volunteers from the Bharatiya Yog Sansthan. The remaining 10 venues will host approximately 1,000 participants each.

To ensure safety and smooth conduct, Delhi Police will manage security and traffic arrangements. Major venues will be equipped with CCTV surveillance, traffic signages, colour-coded parking passes (Red, Green, Yellow), and special provisions for emergency services, Sood elaborated.

Nearly 20,000 participants are expected to take part, including students and teachers from Delhi government schools, yoga instructors, NSS and NCC cadets, and civil defence volunteers.

The “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0” campaign will be launched as a mass movement, aligning with the Government of India’s target of planting 10 crore saplings.

The Delhi government aims to contribute by planting 3.7 lakh saplings during 2025–26.
