Health awareness programme to the school children in India

Why Need Health Education in Schools?
India has the highest disease burden of any country in the world. Additionally, the life expectancy of the average Indian is only 69 years, below that of Nepal and Bangladesh, which have leapfrogged India in the last 20 years. Some of the reasons for this are the rise of the sedentary lifestyle, poor nutrition and hygiene, high use of tobacco, high risk of injuries and environmental pollution.
Diabetes, cancer, heart disease and other non-communicable diseases are on the rise. There were 72 million cases of diabetes in 2017, a figure expected to double by 2025. At the same time, there is a very high prevalence of infectious diseases caused by poor hygiene and sanitation. For example, more than 66,000 Indian children between the age of five and 14 years of age die every year from diarrheal and other infectious diseases. As a comparison, there were 28 such deaths in the same year in the United States.
