Jaipur: Schools across Rajasthan will install ‘sugar boards’ to educate students about sugar consumption, its hidden health risks and the importance of healthy eating, following a directive issued by Directorate of Elementary Education Wednesday.
District education officer (elementary) Giriraj Pareek said the initiative aims to address health concerns among children arising from unhealthy eating habits, including consumption of junk food and fried items.“Children need to be conscious of their health and understand the importance of eating healthy food. Awareness will be spread during morning assemblies and in classrooms to encourage healthier food choices and support their overall development,” he said.The move follows an advisory from Rajasthan State Commission for Protection of Child Rights to promote nutritional awareness, prevent malnutrition and support children’s overall development.
