History of World Book Day

World Book Day has a long and varied history. The origins of World Book Day date back to the early 1920s, when booksellers in Catalonia, Spain began to commemorate the death of Miguel de Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, on April 23rd. This date is also the anniversary of the birth and death of William Shakespeare, making it an ideal day to celebrate books and literature.

In 1995, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) designated April 23rd as World Book and Copyright Day, with the goal of promoting reading, publishing, and the protection of intellectual property. The first official World Book Day was celebrated in 1996, and since then, the event has grown in popularity and participation around the world.

In the UK and Ireland, World Book Day is celebrated on the first Thursday of March, as it was initially created by the Booksellers Association in the UK in 1995. The event was developed as a way to encourage children to read more and to promote literacy.

Today, World Book Day is celebrated in over 100 countries worldwide, with various events and activities designed to promote reading and a love of literature. From book swaps to writing contests to author visits, World Book Day is an important event for book lovers of all ages.

आसान टिप्स

लीवर की बीमारी का आमतौर पर तब तक कोई स्पष्ट संकेत या

 लक्षण नहीं दिखता है जब तक कि यह काफी जटिल न हो और

लीवर या यकृत क्षतिग्रस्त न हो जाए।

 

लीवर या यकृत से संबंधित बीमारी के बारे में जागरूकता फैलाने

 के लिए हर साल 19 अप्रैल को विश्व लीवर दिवस मनाया जाता है।

 राष्ट्रीय स्वास्थ्य एवं परिवार कल्याण संस्थान के मुताबिक मस्तिष्क

 को छोड़कर लीवर शरीर का दूसरा सबसे बड़ा और सबसे जटिल अंग है।

 यह शरीर के पाचन तंत्र का एक प्रमुख अंग है।

हम जो कुछ भी खाते या पीते हैं, जिसमें दवा भी शामिल है, लीवर से

 होकर गुजरता है। हम लीवर के बिना जीवित नहीं रह सकते। 

यह एक ऐसा अंग है जिसकी अगर आप अच्छी देखभाल नहीं 

करते हैं तो यह आसानी से क्षतिग्रस्त हो सकता है।

 

हमारा लीवर कड़ी मेहनत करता है, सैकड़ों जटिल कार्य करता है,

जिनमें शामिल हैं:

संक्रमण और बीमारी से लड़ना

रक्त शर्करा का विनियमन

शरीर से विषाक्त पदार्थों को निकालना

कोलेस्ट्रॉल के स्तर को नियंत्रित करना

रक्त को थक्का जमने में मदद करना (गाढ़ा होना)

पित्त का विमोचन (एक तरल जो वसा को तोड़ता है 

और पाचन में सहायता करता है)

लीवर की बीमारी का आमतौर पर तब तक कोई स्पष्ट संकेत 

या लक्षण नहीं दिखता है जब तक कि यह काफी जटिल न हो 

और लीवर या यकृत क्षतिग्रस्त न हो जाए। इस स्तर पर, संभावित लक्षण 

भूख में कमी, वजन घटने और पीलिया आदि हैं।

फल और सब्जियां, साबुत अनाज की ब्रेड, चावल और अनाज

शराब, धूम्रपान और नशीले पदार्थों को ना कहें, शराब, धूम्रपान 

और ड्रग्स लीवर की कोशिकाओं को नुकसान पहुंचा सकते हैं 

या नष्ट कर सकते हैं। यहां तक कि पैसिव स्मोकिंग के

 शिकार भी न बनें।

जहरीले रसायनों से सावधान रहें, एरोसोल और सफाई उत्पादों

 और कीटनाशकों जैसे रसायन, जहरीले पदार्थ पैदा करते हैं 

जो यकृत कोशिकाओं को घायल कर सकते हैं।

World Health Day 07.04.2023

 

World Health Day Slogans in English

Value for your health before it is too late. 

Health is the wealth we all need. Without health,

 everything is incomplete.

HISTORY OF WORLD HEALTH DAY

To talk about World Health Day, we need to talk about the creation 

of the World Health Organization as a whole. In December 1945, 

officials of Brazil and China proposed the creation of an international 

health organization, that is all-encompassing and absolutely independent

 from any government powers.

Half a year later, in New York, in July 1946, the constitution of the 

World Health Organization was approved. Said constitution entered 

into force on April 7, 1948, as 61 countries signed in agreement for 

the inception of the NGOs.

As one of the first official acts of WHO, they created the celebration 

of World Health Day. It was first observed on July 22, 1949, but the 

date was later changed to April 7, the establishment of WHO, to encourage 

student participation.

Since 1950, the Worth Health Day uses a different theme and theme each

 year selected by the current WHO Director-General, based on the 

suggestions of the member governments and staff.
World Health Day provides a global opportunity to focus attention on 

important public health issues that affect the international community. 

On the occasion of World Health Day, promotional programs are 

launched that continue for a long time after April 7.

Why is World Health Day celebrated?

World Health Day (WHD) is celebrated on 7 April every year to mark

 the anniversary of the founding of WHO in 1948. 

Each year, a theme is selected to highlight a priority area 

of public health concern in the world.

What is the world Health Day theme for 2023?

World Health Day 2023 will focus on the theme, 'Health for All,'

marking the 75th anniversary of the World Health Organization (WHO).

What is the full form of WHO?

The full form of WHO is World Health Organisation. It is a 

specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for 

international public health.
