The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has recently mandated the establishment of "sugar boards" in all affiliated schools to address the alarming rise in sugar consumption and its associated health risks among children. This initiative aims to educate students about the dangers of excessive sugar intake, which contributes to obesity, type 2 diabetes, dental problems, and other metabolic disorders, according to The  Hindu . These visually engaging boards will display information on recommended daily sugar intake, the sugar content in common foods, and healthier dietary alternatives, encouraging students to make informed food choices for better long-term health and academic performance. This move, following recommendations from the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), represents a proactive step towards fostering a healthier school environment and promoting responsible consumption habits among students.
