Seeing the growing cases of diabetes and depression among young children, Mr. Lugani, the principal of on reputed school organized a seminar in which he invited parents and principals. They all resolved this issue by strictly banning junk food in schools and introducing healthy snacks and drinks like soup, lassi, milk, etc. in school canteens. They also decided to make compulsory half an hour of daily physical activities for the students in the morning assembly. After six months, Mr. Lugani conducted the health survey is most of the schools and discovered a tremendous improvement in the health of the students.
