CBSE Mandates Sugar Boards in Schools to Promote Healthy Eating

The CBSE is making schools put up 'Sugar Boards' to show kids how much sugar is in their snacks and drinks.

This is in response to the rising rates of childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes in India.

The boards will help students understand the amount of sugar in everyday foods, assisting them in making better choices.

Schools are modifying menus to include healthier options and are already giving nutrition education.

Experts suggest that this initiative needs to be coupled with a collaborative approach involving schools, parents, and health professionals to educate children about food and encourage healthy habits.
