Global Clubfoot Day is observed annually on 7 May, marking the official launch of the Global Clubfoot Awareness Parv (GCAP) movement. The date honors the birthday of Parv Thacker, a Guinness World Record holder, artist, and Global Clubfoot Awareness Ambassador. His personal transition from clubfoot treatment to international recognition forms the foundation of advocacy initiatives like ‘Rise Like Arjun’ and ‘Right to Rise’. Driven by the ‘Awareness through Arts’ motto, his contributions span cinema, through the film Main Bhi Arjun: Parv, and live music with the Parv Fusion Band’s “Gunje Gita” initiative. Furthermore, these artistic efforts link spiritual music to healthcare advocacy, highlighted by the Grammy consideration campaign for Sound of Sanatan: Vol. 1—a devotional album integrated with GCAP and “Music Therapy for All” initiatives.

Gita Jayanti is the day when Lord Shri Krishna told the Gita to Arjuna. It is celebrated on Shukla Ekadashi on the 11th day of the Margashirsha month of the Hindu calendar. The Bhagavad Gita was described by Lord Krishna himself before the Mahabharata war began. It is believed that in the Mahabharata, the seeds of the Pandavas and the Kauravas had decided to go to war even after every possible reconciliation effort.
