Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Vegetarian Day is celebrated on October 1 each year. Initiated by the North American Vegetarian Society in 1977 and later endorsed by the International Vegetarian Union in 1978, the day aims to promote the advantages of a vegetarian diet and raise awareness of plant-based nutrition. It also marks the start of Vegetarian Awareness Month, which runs throughout October, highlighting the environmental, health, and ethical benefits of reducing or eliminating animal products from diets.
