The World Diabetes Day was observed on November 14. It was revealed that the number of diabetics in India is likely to rise to 101 million by 2030, as per the estimates of World Health Organisation (WHO). Countrywide, there are currently 70 million diabetics and another 80 million more in the pre-diabetes stage. Urban India sees the prevalence of diabetes six times more as compared to the rural zones.
In the circumstances, it is worthwhile to know the Union Government’s initiatives to reduce incidences or help diabetics tackle their ailment. Mission Madhumeha was launched on October 28, 2016 on the occasion of first National Ayurveda Day.
