In his monthly 'Mann Ki Baat' radio broadcast, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on citizens to reduce their sugar and cooking oil intake by 10 percent. This, he suggested, could help prevent obesity and lifestyle diseases. Modi was responding to a social media request from Instagram influencer Yuvraj Dua.
Modi also praised Almis Ji, a yoga promoter based in Djibouti, Africa, who has been instrumental in spreading yoga practices internationally through the Arvind Yoga Centre. With less than 100 days till International Yoga Day, the global interest in yoga continues to grow, Modi noted.
Highlighting India's burgeoning sporting prowess, the Prime Minister celebrated achievements by athletes such as marathon runner Gulveer Singh and squash player Anahat Singh.
