"IF THE GAZE OF FOOD MAKES YOUR HEART WARMER
DON’T FORGET TO REMINISCENCE AND THANK THE FARMER"

Agriculture is one of the important sectors in our country. The basic need of our lives, food is produced by farming🌽. Farming is not only cultivating crops but also growing livestock. This sector needs special attention because our day-to-day life is dependent on it. Farmers strive 💪 hard day and night to produce food and other resources. In India, more than 60% of people are farmers 📊 and farmers are the real strength of our nation. Every year 23rd of December is celebrated as “National Farmers Day”.

This day marks the birth anniversary of our former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh as he worked for the welfare of farmers. Chaudhary Charan Singh during his tenure introduced different programs and schemes that were beneficial for the Indian farmers. This day is celebrated to make people know about the importance and hard work done by farmers.

Farmers face a lot of struggles economically and mentally. Eventhough most of our ancestors were farmers, now people don’t want to become a farmer. There is a huge difference in the reverence given to a farmer in comparison with any other occupation. This practice of looking down at the farming occupation should change. Weather conditions ,selection of pesticides, choosing crops based on soil all these are the factors that influence farming. With the help of modern technologies if farmers are educated to improve their farming methods and if prewarning of climatic changes is given, it will in turn increase the quantity and quality of the yield produced. Helping farmers is indirectly helping the society 🌐.

Youngsters should come forward to improve agriculture sector 🌱. They should acknowledge and create awareness among farmers about the new sophisticated techniques that are already available in the market.
The Government on this day introduces schemes for benefitting the farmers.
It is celebrated by organising various programs, debates, seminars, quiz competitions, discussions, workshops, exhibitions, essays writing competitions and functions on the theme “farming”.

In the field called mind 🪷
Let us sow good thoughts ❤️
Plough its inner meaning 🚜
Remove pessimistic weeds
Irrigate hope and belief
Harvest good deeds 🎑
And store it to educate future generation! 🗣️

As the quote says let us unite🤝 to save farmers and pave way for advancements in farming.

"World AIDS Day"🎗️ is one of the eleven official global public health campaigns marked by the World Health Organization (WHO)🌎.The World Health Organization (WHO) founded World AIDS Day on December 1 in 1988 to promote information sharing between local and national authorities, international organisations, and private citizens.This year’s theme for World AIDS Day is “Rock the Ribbon.” The National AIDS Trust is committed to stopping new cases of HIV, securing the rights of people living with HIV, and fighting HIV stigma and discrimination.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks cells 🦠 that help the body fight infection 💪, making a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases.

The human body can’t get rid of HIV and no effective HIV cure exists. So, once you have HIV, you have it for life🥺. Luckily, however, effective treatment with HIV medicine (called antiretroviral therapy or ART) is available. If taken as prescribed, HIV medicine can reduce the amount of HIV in the blood (also called the viral load) to a very low level. This is called viral suppression.

Nearly 40% of new HIV infections 🧬 are transmitted by people who don’t know they have the virus. For people with undiagnosed HIV, testing is the first step in maintaining a healthy life and preventing HIV transmission.
Routine HIV screening of adults, adolescents, and pregnant women in health care settings is recommended.
The government recommends that everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care.

Let us create awareness about AIDS and make our society AIDS free .

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" ✨

An antimicrobial 🦠 is an agent that kills microorganisms or stops their growth. Antimicrobial medicines 💊 can be grouped according to the microorganisms they act primarily against. For example, antibiotics are used against bacteria, and antifungals are used against fungi. They can also be classified according to their function. Agents that kill microbes are microbicides, while those that merely inhibit their growth are called bacteriostatic agents.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. As a result of drug 💊 resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective and infections become increasingly difficult or impossible to treat.

World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) is a global campaign that is celebrated annually to improve awareness and understanding of AMR and encourage best practices among the public 📢, One Health stakeholders and policymakers, who all play a critical role in reducing the further emergence and spread of AMR.

The theme of WAAW 2022 is "Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance together".
AMR is a threat to humans, animals, plants and the environment. It affects us all. That is why this year's theme calls for cross-sectoral collaboration to preserve the effectiveness of these important medicines.

Stay healthy ! Stay happy! ❤️✨
