India introduces "Sugar Boards" in schools to combat high sugar intake, endorsed by PM Modi.

India's CBSE mandates "Sugar Boards" in schools to educate students on high sugar intake risks, including diabetes and obesity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi endorsed the initiative, which includes displaying sugar content in common foods, health risks, and promoting healthier choices through school seminars and workshops. Experts note that while the boards are a good start, more measures like engaging parents and stricter canteen rules are needed for effective outcomes.
