In October, the world marks several important global events.
On the first day of the month, the International Day of Older Persons is observed to celebrate the contributions of the elderly.
Just a few days later, World Teachers’ Day is honoured on October 5 to recognise the role of teachers in shaping societies.
Mid-month, attention shifts to health as World Mental Health Day is commemorated on October 10 to raise awareness about mental well-being.
October 16 is observed as World Food Day, highlighting the global fight against hunger and malnutrition.
