Bhilai is attempting to set five world records with the participation of one lakh people in the presence of yoga guru Baba Ramdev. In order to motivate the participants, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh also performed a few yoga exercises.
The endeavor is taken to celebrate National Youth Day on the occasion of the 154th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 12 January 2017.

As per program, over one lakh people will perform the Surya Namaskar at one place together in an attempt to create the world record. They will also practice other yoga exercises like Kapal Bhati and Anulom Vilom (breathing exercises) to create yet another world record. Then will come the last two world records - by performing the Shurshashan and push ups.
The attempt to create the five world records at one go at a single venue is being made at Jayanti Stadium in Bhilai - 36 separate blocks have been constituted here for the participants. In addition, eighteen huge television screens have been put up on the ground to facilitate the monitoring of the creating of these world records.
