The India release of The Lancet Series on Ultra-Processed Foods and Human Health draws attention to an important factor.
The Series shows a clear association between ultra-processed dietary patterns and an increased risk of one or more chronic diseases. This is a global challenge, affecting countries across all income groups and people across all income levels.
To protect public health—especially of children and adolescents — we need strong front-of-pack nutrition labelling, taxes on unhealthy foods, adolescent-led skill-based nutrition literacy, restrictions on the marketing of ultra-processed foods, and stronger, enforceable laws to regulate marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages.
It is time to put health before profit.
UNICEF is committed to supporting the Government of India's call to reduce obesity.

Today is the darkest day of my life.
My beloved son, Agnivesh, left us far too soon. He was just 49 years old, healthy, full of life, and dreams. Following a skiing accident in the US, he was recovering well in Mount Sinai Hospital, New York. We believed the worst was behind us. But fate had other plans, and a sudden cardiac arrest snatched our son away from us.
No words can describe the pain of a parent who must bid goodbye to his child. A son is not meant to leave before his father. This loss has shattered us in ways we are still trying to comprehend.
I still remember the day Agni was born in Patna on 3 June, 1976. From a middle-class Bihari family, he grew into a man of strength, compassion, and purpose. The light of his mother’s life, a protective brother, a loyal friend, and a gentle soul who touched everyone he met.
Agnivesh was many things - a sportsman, a musician, a leader. He studied at Mayo College, Ajmer, went on to set up one of the finest companies Fujeirah Gold, became Chairman of Hindustan Zinc, and earned the respect of colleagues and friends alike. Yet, beyond all titles and achievements, he remained simple, warm, and deeply human.
To me, he was not just my son. He was my friend. My pride. My world.
Kiran and I are broken. And yet, in our grief, we remind ourselves that the thousands of young people who work across Vedanta are also our children.
Agnivesh believed deeply in building a self-reliant India. He would often say, “Papa, we lack nothing as a nation. Why should we ever be behind?”
We shared a dream to ensure that no child sleeps hungry, no child is denied education, every woman stands on her own feet, and every young Indian has meaningful work. I had promised Agni that more than 75% of what we earn would be given back to society.
Today, I renew that promise and resolve to live an even simpler life.
There was so much life ahead of him. So many dreams yet to be lived. His absence leaves a void for his family and friends. We thank all his friends, colleagues and well-wishers for always being there for him.
Beta, you will live on in our hearts, in our work, and in every life you touched.
I do not know how to walk this path without you, but I will try carrying your light forward.
Merry Christmas! 🎄
May this beautiful season fill your heart with peace, hope, and gentle joy.
May love find its way into every corner of your life, and kindness return to you a hundredfold.
As candles glow and prayers rise, may Christmas remind us that even a small lights
प्रसन्नता कोई मंज़िल नहीं,
यह हमारे अच्छे कर्मों से सजे हर कदम की पहचान है।हर सुबह याद दिलाती है कि
सच्ची खुशी बाहर नहीं, हमारे भीतर होती है।
वो सुकून जो अच्छा सोचने,अच्छा करने और अच्छा बनने से मिलता है।मुस्कान के साथ दिन की शुरुआत करो,कर्मों से उसे सुंदर बनाओ,और हर कदम से रोशनी।

स्वर्गीय प्रेम सागर जी का निधन सचमुच अपूरणीय क्षति है। वे एक महान मार्गदर्शक, दूरदर्शी और धार्मिक व्यक्तित्व थे। ईश्वर उनकी आत्मा को शांति प्रदान करें तथा परिवार को इस असहनीय दुख को सहने की शक्ति दें।
ॐ शांति 🕯️🙏
