JAMMU, Jun 18: As part of the nationwide campaign commemorating 12 years of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Government under the theme “Vikas, Vishwas aur Jan Kalyan,” BJP Mahila Morcha Jammu District organized an awareness workshop at the BJP Headquarters, Kachi Chawni, Jammu, to promote healthy cooking practices and encourage reduced consumption of edible oil.
The programme was conducted under the leadership of District President Anuradha Sharma and was attended by BJP J&K Vice President and former Minister Priya Sethi, BJP Mahila Morcha Vice President and Jammu District Prabhari Prerna Nanda, Seh Prabhari Shalu Gupta, District Prabhari Asha Gupta, and a large number of Mahila Morcha activists from across Jammu district.
The workshop witnessed enthusiastic participation from women members who prepared and showcased a variety of nutritious and innovative dishes made using minimal or no edible oil. Participants exchanged ideas on healthy cooking methods, balanced diets and lifestyle changes that can help prevent lifestyle-related diseases.
Addressing the gathering, Priya Sethi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has consistently emphasized preventive healthcare and healthy living as essential components of a developed India. She said that dietary habits play a crucial role in determining the health and well-being of families and society.
“Good health begins in the kitchen. Mothers and women have a pivotal role in shaping the eating habits of families. By reducing excessive oil consumption and promoting nutritious food, we can significantly contribute to building a healthier society,” Priya Sethi said.
She added that the Prime Minister’s appeal to reduce edible oil consumption is not merely a health advisory but a social movement aimed at reducing the growing burden of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and other lifestyle disorders.
“Today, health awareness is as important as economic development. A healthy citizen is the foundation of a strong nation. We must adopt balanced nutrition, regular physical activity and mindful eating habits to ensure a better future for our children,” she said.
Priya Sethi also lauded the efforts of BJP Mahila Morcha for taking the message of healthy living to the grassroots level and involving women in public awareness campaigns.
She urged participants to become ambassadors of health awareness and spread the message of nutritious eating and healthy lifestyles in every household.
The programme concluded with a collective pledge by the participants to promote healthy cooking practices and support the nationwide campaign for a healthier and fitter India.
