Purpose:

The primary goal is to educate students about the dangers of excessive sugar intake and promote healthier dietary habits. 

Implementation:

CBSE has directed all affiliated schools to create and display these "sugar boards" which visually represent the amount of sugar in various food items and beverages. 

Content:

The boards typically show the sugar content in common items like soft drinks, packaged juices, and snacks, often using relatable comparisons like teaspoons of sugar. 

Context:

This initiative is a response to rising health concerns like childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes, which are linked to high sugar consumption. 

Scope:

The initiative is not limited to CBSE schools; the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) is advocating for its adoption in all schools, including those affiliated with state boards. 

Impact:

By making the sugar content of common foods more visible and understandable, the boards aim to empower students to make informed food choices and reduce their sug

ar intake.
