With the aim of promoting physical fitness and the holistic development of children and youth through the disciplined practice of Yoga, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Jhargram organised a District-level Yogasana Competition across all eight blocks of Jhargram district for the fourth consecutive year. The competition was held from 14 July to 2 August 2026, encompassing block-level rounds followed by a District Final.
Participants were drawn into two age categories — 8–13 years and 13–17 years — with separate competitions for boys and girls in each category.
