All the speakers focussed on the theme through different presentations. The role of sports, yoga, ayurveda and other systems were discussed in detail. Everyone everywhere has to address to the idea of development of immunity as it is the primary source of defence of an individual.Different types of immunities were also discussed. Active immunity, passive immunity, herd immunity and other types of immunities were discussed in detail.Active immunity is a type of immunity that is created by our own immune system when we come in contact with a harmful pathogen. The active immunity acts as a quick response to outside invader. Passive immunity is a type of immunity that is achieved by something other than one’s own immune system. Active immunity is long lasting while passive immunity is short-lived as the antibodies in this type of immunity are not continuously replenished, as would occur in an individual whose immune system is responding directly.
