PM Modi Highlights Amla’s Health Benefits and Economic Opportunities

Amla is a small, sour fruit also called Indian gooseberry.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about it on his radio program, Mann Ki Baat.

He said amla is important in Pratapgarh, where people grow it and make many products.

These products include juice, pickles, candy and preserves.

Women’s self-help groups and local businesses are also working with amla.

The fruit contains a lot of vitamin C, which helps the body use iron and recover.

Its fibre may help digestion and reduce sudden rises in blood sugar.

Amla also contains vitamin A and other compounds that may support eye health and protect cells.

People should ask a doctor for advice about using amla for a health condition.
