On August 10th, 2023, Bhubaneswar witnessed a remarkable event that brought together visionaries, thought leaders, and change-makers from India and around the world. The occasion was the ‘PRAYAS’ – Programme for Advancement of YOUTH & SOCIETY, a significant segment of the G20 India Summit. I had the distinct honor of participating in a panel discussion on “Holistic Living in Today’s Era” alongside several distinguished speakers.
The PRAYAS summit stands as a testament to the power of collective action and the shared commitment to shaping a brighter future for our youth and society. With its focus on advancement and progress, the event captured the essence of the G20 India Summit’s overarching goals. I was humbled to engage with prominent figures who are dedicating their efforts to propel positive change in various spheres.
The panel discussion on “Holistic Living in Today’s Era” provided a platform for profound deliberations on the multifaceted concept of holistic well-being. In a fast-paced world filled with modern challenges, the discourse centered on finding equilibrium among physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of our lives. Diverse perspectives were exchanged, and strategies for embracing holistic practices in our daily routines were shared.
Amidst the esteemed panelists, I had the privilege of contributing insights drawn from my journey in the medical field. The discussion reinforced the importance of adopting a holistic approach to health and wellness, emphasizing preventive measures and fostering a sense of balance that extends beyond mere physical well-being.
