From which year did the celebration of 21st June as International Yoga Day begin ?

  • A.2014
  • B.2015
  • C.2016
  • D.2017

Answer: B

International Yoga Day was first celebrated in 2015.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed the idea in his address to the UN General Assembly in September 2014, and the General Assembly adopted the resolution declaring 21 June as International Day of Yoga in December 2014. The first celebration took place on 21 June 2015, with a mass session on Rajpath in New Delhi.

2014 is the year of the proposal and the resolution, not of the first celebration, and 2016 and 2017 were the second and third observances.
