opportunities, encourage earlier detection and treatment of chronic
diseases, and foster healthy living through information and resources on
healthy lifestyle. The aim is to enable citizens of India and around
the world to achieve wellbeing of mind and body through
knowledge-sharing in a simple, interactive and accessible format. The
initiative seeks to promote balanced diet, physical activity, lifestyle
management, caring for the environment and avoiding tobacco and alcohol
related health problems. Information and expert opinion on hot topics
such as stress management, blood pressure, diabetes, cancers, heart
disease, and stroke and on factors that affect health such as climate

present information in an imaginative manner that may then create an
ambience of change, in both individuals and communities for healthy
behaviors and practices.
