Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asked the nation to share their experiences on how yoga can help mitigate diabetes.

"Projections of Yoga on UN building became popular. We need to think about how Yoga can mitigate diabetes. Use #YogaFightsDiabetes and please share your experiences on how Yoga can help mitigate diabetes," Prime Minister Modi said while addressing the nation in the 21st edition of his 'Mann Ki Baat' programme.

He stated that the world marked International Day of Yoga in a big way."You would have seen postage stamps related to Yoga being released. You would have seen Twitter joining Yoga Day celebrations through a special emoji," he added.
