Modi also nominated political leaders, sports champions, and business figures for the campaign. The list included Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah, Anand Mahindra, weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, MP Sudha Murty, and shooter Manu Bhaker.

 

PM Modi's post on X stated, “As mentioned in yesterday’s #MannKiBaat, I would like to nominate the following people to help strengthen the fight against obesity and spread awareness on reducing edible oil consumption in food. I also request them to nominate 10 people each so that our movement gets bigger.”

 

 

 

During his Mann Ki Baat address on Sunday, PM Modi urged Indians to consciously reduce their oil consumption by at least 10% while cooking. He encouraged people to pass this message to 10 others, aiming to build a nationwide health awareness chain.

 

In his address, PM Modi cited data revealing that one in eight people in India suffers from obesity. He said, “To become a fit and healthy nation, we have to tackle the problem of obesity. According to a study, today one in every eight people is suffering from the problem of obesity.”

 

He further added, “Obesity cases have doubled in the past few years, but what is even more worrying is that the problem of obesity among children has also increased four-fold. Therefore, you should decide that you will use 10 per cent less oil every month. You can decide that you will buy 10 per cent less oil when you buy it for cooking. This will be an important step towards reducing obesity. By making small changes in our eating habits, we can make our future stronger, fitter and disease-free.”
