The Pourakarmikas from the Mysuru City Corporation will assemble at the venue in the wee hours and take charge of cleanliness while the Health Department staff too will be present at the venue. Waste collection bins have been kept at the venue so that participants do not litter the surroundings with food plates and water glasses.

    Karnataka Tourism should next year sponsor yellow colour T shirts with the Print “I ❤️ Mysuru” or “I❤️Yoga” to all the 12000 participants . KSTDC should arrange for a video shoot of the event and use the Video to promote Mysuru as a destination for Yoga Tourism all over the world.
