Har Ghar Dhyan is a collaborative initiative of The Art of Living and Ministry of Culture, Government of India, under the aegis of “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav” (AKAM), as a special offering to benefit the citizens on the occasion of 75 years of independence for our Country.

The Art of Living is considered a global pioneer in building positive mental health through its various programs based on the philosophy of Yoga & Meditation. The MoU aims to help meet objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
