Odisha Launches Statewide Sugar Awareness Campaign for Children's Health
The Odisha government wants kids to eat less sugar!
They are putting up special signs at schools to show how much sugar is hidden in foods and drinks.

This is part of a larger plan to help people be healthier and follows programs like Poshan Abhiyaan and Fit India Movement.
They are also having workshops to teach people more about nutrition.
