India’s rich biodiversity, from the Himalayas to the Western Ghats, sustains millions of lives. Protecting forests, wildlife, and soil health is key to food, water, and climate security. Together, we can restore balance with nature.

This World Food Day, let’s reconnect with real food and the real people behind it. Every time we choose fresh over processed, we nourish our bodies and our communities.

Support your local farmers.
Choose whole, seasonal foods.
Cut down on ultra-processed snacks.
Share, don’t waste.
Practice, don’t preach. 

Because food isn’t just fuel—it’s a story of soil, sweat, and solidarity.

40 and Beyond: This souvenir was released to mark 40 years of CAG's work in protecting consumer rights, promoting environmental sustainability, and strengthening civic accountability. It captures key moments, stories, and milestones from our journey since 1985 — highlighting the impact of collective action and community engagement.

Walking safely is not a luxury, it’s your right! The Supreme Court ruled that proper, accessible, and encroachment-free footpaths are protected under Article 21 (Right to Life).

Key highlights of the verdict include:
- Safe and inclusive footpaths are non-negotiable
- Union & State Governments must frame pedestrian-friendly guidelines.

With pedestrians accounting for 20% of road deaths in 5 years (2019-2023), this ruling will go a long way in saving lives.
