Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Pulses Day is observed every year on February 10 to highlight the importance of pulses as a sustainable and nutritious food source. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2019, the day builds on the success of the 2016 International Year of Pulses. It emphasizes the role of pulses in global food security, nutrition, and environmental sustainability. Pulses, such as lentils, chickpeas, and beans, are rich in proteins, dietary fibre, and essential nutrients. The observance promotes their contribution to eradicating hunger, improving human health, and supporting sustainable agricultural practices worldwide.
