SCERT proposes activities across UT educational institutions to promote health, hygiene

Srinagar, July 26: The SCERT-JK has proposed activities across all educational institutions of the JKUT to promote health and hygiene among students.

As educational institutions across the nation celebrate Shiksha Saptah from July 22 to 28, the focus on nutrition, health, and hygiene takes center stage. This week-long celebration marks the 4th anniversary of the National Education Policy 2020, with day 6th of July 27 dedicated to Eco Clubs for Mission Life and School Nutrition Day.

The SCERT-JK has proposed activities across all educational institutions of the JKUT to promote health and hygiene among students. The activities proposed for the Fruit and Vegetable Fair and School Garden Project are excellent initiatives to promote health and hygiene among students. Encouraging students to bring a fruit or vegetable to school will foster a sense of responsibility and expose them to a variety of nutritious foods.

The fair will not only showcase the diversity of produce but also allow students to taste different items, emphasizing their nutritional benefits. The development of the School Garden Project will provide hands-on learning about gardening, plant care, and the advantages of consuming fresh produce, reinforcing the importance of healthy eating habits. The Self-Care Checklist will guide students in maintaining the herbal gardens, enhancing the school's aesthetic appeal and educating them on the importance of green spaces.

The proposed awareness workshops will play a crucial role in educating students about balanced diets, healthy eating habits, and the detrimental effects of junk food. Interactive methods like quizzes, debates, and craft sessions will make learning engaging and fun.
