Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asked the nation to share their experiences on how yoga can help mitigate diabetes.
"Projections of Yoga on UN building became popular. We need to think about how Yoga can mitigate diabetes. Use #YogaFightsDiabetes and please share your experiences on how Yoga can help mitigate diabetes," Prime Minister Modi said while addressing the nation in the 21st edition of his 'Mann Ki Baat' programme.
He stated that the world marked International Day of Yoga in a big way."You would have seen postage stamps related to Yoga being released. You would have seen Twitter joining Yoga Day celebrations through a special emoji," he added.
Lauding his government's 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' initiative, Prime Minister Modi said the results of the various examinations showed how women are excelling.
"On 18th June, the first batch of women fighter pilots were inducted in the Air Force. We feel very proud, I congratulate them and their families," he added.
