World Pulses Day is observed every year on February 10 to raise global awareness about the importance of pulses as a sustainable and nutritious food source.  In 2013, the United Nations adopted resolution which declared 2016 as the International Year of Pulses. The first celebration took place in 2019, and it has been observed annually ever since.
