During a powerful interaction with Harish R., Chairman, GWC – 2026, the Minister stressed the need to create greater public awareness about what people eat, where they eat and how food and lifestyle choices influence long-term health. His recent enforcement initiatives covering five-star hotels, leading clubs, hospitals, bakeries, sweet outlets and pharmaceutical establishments have reinforced the need for stronger public vigilance and responsible health practices.
A major highlight of the event was the announcement of the Women as Wellbeing Ambassadors initiative under GWC – 2026. The initiative aims to empower women to become champions of healthy families, communities and lifestyles.
The Minister also inaugurated “AYUSH Life Immunity Prasadam – One Meal a Day,” promoting seasonal vegetables, fruits and natural foods as part of an immunity-focused lifestyle. He further released 10 powerful principles for an immunity-enriched lifestyle, offering a simple roadmap for healthier living.
