Ernst and Young was the official process adviser and validator for the International Day of Yoga.
“They (EY) used a three-layered approach to not only count the number of participants but also check the number of performers at the venue.
In addition, they had put in place a robust process to count the number of unique nationalities participating in the event.
“During the process, they found 105 persons attending the event but not performing yoga,” said a senior AYUSH Ministry official.
The Prime Minister, along with officials of various ministries, schoolchildren, NCC cadets, Army personnel and officials performed yoga asanas at the mega event on Rajpath.
Celebrations were held in the national capital after the United Nations had in December declared June 21 as International Yoga Day, with 177 countries voting in favour of the resolution.
The proposal had been mooted by the Prime Minister during his first address to the UN General Assembly in September last year.
