From PM's Mic to Minister's Action: Shekhawat Loudens Modi's Health Battle Cry

Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, the Union Minister, has lent support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to decrease the use of oil and move towards healthier lives. Following the 119th episode of Mann Ki Baat, where Modi urged citizens to cut their monthly oil intake by 10%, Shekhawat echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the importance of combating obesity. The Prime Minister's address highlighted alarming statistics, noting that one in eight Indians is affected by obesity, with childhood cases quadrupling in recent years. Modi's challenge involves a call for individuals to cut down on their consumption of oil and forward the challenge to ten others, generating a chain of awareness on health across the country. This unified movement by the Prime Minister and his cabinet reflects the seriousness with which the government is approaching India's increasing health issues.
