World Pulses Day is Designated on 10th February

 February 10th has been "World Pulses Day" every year. Pulses day is dedicated to the importance of pulses. In 2021, celebrate this day with the theme of "Nutrient Seeds for a Sustainable Future". This time, the large-scale event was almost held in New York.

Highlights:

♦ The main focus of the event is to raise awareness and recognize the contribution of pulses in maintaining a sustainable food system and healthy eating.

♦ This day belongs to the second goal of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which is "Zero Hunger".

♦ The day also includes the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. It can be observed that this day urges people to increase consumption of pulses.

♦ Pulses are rich in nutrients and play a very important role in making the diet healthy for humans. But some people cannot use pulses, and some people do not know the nutritional value and health benefits of pulses.

♦ Therefore, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) was established on this day in 2018 and is committed to this event, aiming to raise people’s awareness of pulses and the opportunity to obtain them.

♦ On the occasion of World Pulses Day, people need to consume and donate pulses. People were asked to raise awareness around them. In many places, people will impress pulses on the menu to organize lunch or dinner. 

♦ Some people participate in donating pulses to people who cannot use them. On social media, the events organized on the day are shared with hashtags such as #worldpulsesday, #LovePulses, etc.
