Responding positively to the proposal, the yoga guru asked the chief minister to provide land for establishing the centre and expressed hope that "this initiative would go a long way in creating awareness amongst the masses about health and hygiene by practising yoga".

Asserting that people now-a-days are very health cosncious, the chief minister told Ramdev that the proposed centre would prove to be a useful platform to promote yoga on the scientific lines on one hand and benefitting people to get themselves cured from ailments with Ayurvedic therapy on the other.

Ramdev was accompanied by Chief Coordinator, Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar Dr Jaideep Arya.
