A study into the health issues of the Indians reveals a very grim, unfortunate reality. India is the capital of lifestyle diseases like obesity, hypertension, high blood sugar level, high cholesterol levels, cervical spondilitis etc. The present generation should shoulder the mammoth responsibility to revert this statistical record. We expect every ITLeen to emerge out as a health conscious individual. For that, the school is conducting a wide survey on food habits of school students where each class is going to do an in-depth research work on the essence of good food and healthy living. The research work will be analyzed and the result will be shared with the parents. The children can best comprehend the value of health only when parents inculcate the significance of food in their ward. The interdisciplinary Holiday Homework will surely have positive impact on your children as a part of growing up of children in creating the food habits that will follow your children throughout their lifetime So, it s a humble request to parents to take a positive interest, as the wards learn a lot when the children learn by doing. In fact, your involvement too will add an element of fun and excitement to the project work. We bet that you will be thrilled and excited at the interesting revelation on health topics. At our end the teaching and non teaching staff will be submitting the reports. It would be appreciated if parents also take the initiative to get the following tests done for a healthy life. BMI Calculation Haemoglobin VIT D Cholesterol etc. Together we can help in making them health conscious individuals and we can proudly boast of creating a healthier India.
