‘Mann ki Baat': WHO declares India free of Trachoma, says PM Modi
In his monthly 'Mann Ki Baat' programme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (June 29, 2025) said that India has been declared free of Trachoma — an eye disease. In the 123rd episode, Mr. Modi said, 'I am delighted to share with you that World Health Organisation [WHO] had declared India free of Trachoma, an eye disease.' Trachoma is a bacterial infection of the eyes caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. It's a leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide, particularly in impoverished areas with poor access to clean water and sanitation. 'International Labour Organisation has said over 64% of Indian population is getting some form of social protection benefit,' PM Modi noted. 'Over 95 crore Indians now benefitting from some social security scheme, govt schemes reached less than 25 crore people in 2015,' he added.

In Frames: International Yoga Day: Breathe, bend, belong
The United Nations' recognition of June 21 as the International Day of Yoga has brought global attention and a boost to the ancient Indian lifestyle practice that focuses on breathing, flexibility and strength. The origins of yoga can be traced back to thousands of years, and it holds an important place in modern lifestyles. Yoga is one of the six orthodox schools of Indian philosophy and, just as the remaining five, focuses on attaining self-realisation through its unique teachings for the control of mind and body. This year's International Day of Yoga, observed last week, advocated the theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health', underlining that personal wellness and the health of the planet are linked. While people all over the country took to their mats in celebration of this wellness routine, the philosophy echoed around the world. The lawns of the United Nations headquarters in New York were lined with colourful mats with over 1,200 practising yoga together. Terming yoga a 'pause button' that the world needs in times of instability and uncertainty, Prime Minister Narendra Modi put forward the idea of yoga for humanity, where inner peace becomes a global policy. Although primarily a practice of health and well-being, the International Day of Yoga also turned a platform for social media spotlight with participants being keen to take their activities online. The UN resolution in 2014 that adopted June 21 as the International Day of Yoga had noted the 'importance of individuals and populations making healthier choices and following lifestyle patterns that foster good health'. The World Health Organization has urged its member states to help their citizens get over physical inactivity, which is a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. Recognising the importance of yoga as a tool to battle physical inactivity and encourage mental stimulation as well as relaxation is one of the key missions of the International Day of Yoga and the trend visible across many countries suggests that awareness is catching on. Into the inner mind: Women wearing traditional Nauvari saris perform yoga at the Gateway of India in Mumbai on the occasion of International Day of Yoga on June 21. Geared up: Running late for a session, tribal students from the Paderu area hurry along to the Yogandhra 2025 event in Visakhapatnam. Coming together: An aerial view of the Yoga Day celebrations along Beach Road in Visakhapatnam. Navigating mindfully: About 500 personnel from the Indian Army, Air Force, Navy, and other forces take part in the Yoga Day event at the INS Adyar naval base in Chennai. Quiet moment: Student Police Cadets perform yoga at Government Girls High School in Thripunithura in Kerala. Shoring up energy: The Marine Drive in Mumbai offers a picturesque venue for a yoga session. Fun footwork: The Telangana Chamber of Events Industry members perform zumba as part of Yoga Day celebrations in Hyderabad. Screen distraction: A girl takes a peek at her mobile phone during Yogandhra 2025 celebrations in Visakhapatnam.

Navel Exercises
According to Dr Asha Kalwar, MBBS, MD Paediatrics from the Indian Railway Hospital, Gorakhpur, 'Castor oil has anti-inflammatory and moisturising properties, and it can relieve constipation. But I wouldn't suggest pulling the belly button or applying castor oil to it with the expectation of internal relief. However, if you massage castor oil on the abdomen, it may stimulate the vagus nerve and promote some relaxation.' One of the most viral claims about navel oiling involves a mysterious structure called the Pechoti gland, allegedly located behind the belly button and responsible for absorbing oils into the bloodstream. There's just one problem, it doesn't exist in any recognised anatomical text. According to healthcare experts, there is no such gland. But unlike some of the more alarming internet diets like cotton ball diet or charcoal cleanse, this trend is largely harmless if done with proper care. The risks? Mild skin irritation or allergic reactions depending upon person to person. Castor oil is thick and occlusive, which can clog pores or cause breakouts. Dr Shreevathsa Upadhyaya, Consultant Physician, Ramaiah Leena Hospital, Devanahalli says, 'Castor oil is used in both allopathic and Ayurvedic practices, particularly as a laxative and a moisturising agent. But the claim of it being absorbed through the belly button into the gastrointestinal system, is absolutely false. The relief people feel is likely due to vagus nerve stimulation from abdominal massage, not the oil itself.'
