Chandigarh Schools Launch Sugar Reduction Initiative
Schools in Chandigarh are starting a new program to help kids eat less sugar.
They will put up posters with information about sugar and the food kids eat.
The goal is to teach students, teachers, and parents about healthy food choices.
This is because many kids eat too much sugar, which can cause health problems like obesity and diabetes.
The city wants to create healthy school environments and wants parents to support these changes at home.
Chandigarh schools will launch a sugar reduction initiative starting July 1.
The UT education department will install 'Sugar Boards' and ban HFSS products.
The initiative aims to educate students about sugar intake and promote healthier options.
Schools will conduct seminars and workshops for students, teachers, and parents.
The initiative follows CBSE directives on promoting awareness of the risks of high sugar intake.
