Bollywood celebrities do not promote baby food products! In fact, all baby food product ads are banned in India since 1990s. But do you know the man behind it?
Meet Dr. Arun, Nestle’s biggest enemy!
Dr. Arun started his fight with Nestle in 1980s. He noticed that Nestle’s sales agents dressed up as nurses and went to hospitals to convince mothers to stop breastfeeding and give formula to babiesinstead.
The sales agents would also give free baby formula samples to mothers. Mothers would get overdependent on formula, and their breast milk would dry up. As a result, they would have no choice but to give their babies formula.
Dr. Arun and his team fought aggressively, and got the Milk Substitutes Act passed in 1992 which banned all forms of baby food ads!
This act has been revolutionary since it has helped India reduce its baby formula usage and has helped India increase its breastfeeding rates.
Breastfeeding has numerous benefits including reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes, and the entire country should thank Dr. Arun for his role in fighting against baby formula!

@airindia I am well aware of this. My question is not this. There is air indi flight from NYC to Delhi. There is air india express flight from delhi to surat.
But I cant book a through ticket from NYC to Surat.
I need to book separate tickets.
As Dr. Swati Vijay Kulkarni returns to India from her position as Consul General in Atlanta (@CGI_Atlanta) I wanted to give a quick tribute to her and our amazing Indian-American community in Georgia, who are great patriots, upstanding citizens, and good friends.
