Healthy India essential for a prosperous and developed nation

This Diwali, let us light two lakh diyas in Delhi, twenty-six lakh in Ayodhya, and millions more across India. Along with the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, let us also offer prayers to Goddess Saraswati and wish for a prosperous, developed India. Since ancient times, Indian culture has viewed such worship as a path to collective social and economic progress. However, a truly educated and developed India cannot exist without a 'Healthy India'. In accordance with tradition, it is worth remembering that before the worship of Lakshmi, there is a ritual to honour Lord Dhanvantari - the divine origin of Ayurveda. Yet, modern consumerism has transformed Dhanteras into a day focused on buying gold and wealth rather than invoking health and wellbeing.

Since 2016, the Government of India has been observing Ayurveda Day on Dhanvantari Jayanti (Dhanteras) every year. The purpose is to raise awareness about Ayurveda's principles, medicinal plants, and holistic lifestyle practices. According to Indian tradition, the knowledge of Ayurveda originated with Lord Dhanvantari, who received it from Lord Brahma.

EXTERMINATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE EIGHT DEADLY DISEASES

Till now, Iceland, with a harsh, unique climate and geographical isolation, was the only country in the world that was completely free of mosquitoes. Three mosquitoes were found in the Kjos valley in October 2025. Scientists blamed rising temperatures due to climate change and increased travel for these arrivals. Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus fever, and filariasis. In 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597,000 deaths globally. World Malaria Day on 25 April and National Dengue Day on May 16th in India highlight the need for public education, continued investment, and sustained political commitment for prevention and control measures, especially before the monsoon season. ‘Chikungunya' means \"to become contorted,\" (due to severe joint pains) in the Kimakonde language in Tanzania and Mozambique.

WELFARE DELIVERY, MODI FACTOR PROPELLING NDA IN BIHAR POLLS

The Bihar elections opened with opposition parties confident that Nitish Kumar's long incumbency and public fatigue courtesy his 20 years of rule would translate into a difficult contest for the NDA. In the early phase of campaigning, this seemed plausible. The same feeling was also shared by top National Democratic Alliance leaders while interacting with journalists privately, including by two senior BJP Union Ministers, who spoke to this correspondent before and after the poll schedule was announced.
