CRPF Launches Nationwide BMI Campaign for 3.25 Lakh Troops
The CRPF, a large security force, is starting a health program for its soldiers.
They're measuring body mass index (BMI) to check if everyone is at a healthy weight.
The first part is measuring everyone's BMI.
If someone's BMI is too high, they will get help with diet and exercise.
Then, they'll check the BMI again.
If the BMI is still too high, they will go to special training centers.
The goal is to help everyone stay healthy.
CRPF launched a two-phased BMI campaign for its 3.25 lakh personnel.
The campaign aims to improve the health and combat readiness of the troops.
Phase one involves BMI recording by the medical wing.
Personnel with high BMI will receive support via dietary guidance and exercise.
Phase two involves structured regimens at specialized training centers for those who need it.
