New Delhi, Dec 25, 2022: On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi noted that Covid-19 cases are rising across the globe and urged people to take precautions to remain safe.
PM Modi further said that many people are on a vacation or will go on one during Christmas and New Year and asked them to follow protocols like wearing masks and washing hands to make sure that their enjoyment is not affected adversely by the virus.
On his last Mann ki Baat show of 2022, PM Modi also shed lignt on evidence-based research in the context of scriptures like yoga and Ayurveda.
“When it comes to modern medical science, the most important thing is – evidence. Lack of evidence-based research in the context of our scriptures like yoga and ayurveda has always been a challenge which has been a part of Indian life for centuries- results are visible, but the evidence is not. But, I am happy that in the era of evidence-based medicine, yoga and ayurveda are now standing up to the touchstone of tests of the modern era,” Modi said.
“All of you must have heard about the Tata Memorial Center in Mumbai. This institute has earned a name for itself in research, innovation and cancer care. An intensive research done by this centre has revealed that yoga is very effective for breast cancer patients. Tata Memorial Center has presented the results of its research at the very prestigious breast cancer conference held in America. These results have attracted the attention of the world’s biggest experts,” he further added.
