Nagaland restricts junk food in schools

“Schools should ensure that the message against junk food is constantly reiterated to students by taking steps like placing signboards and hoardings in and around the campus. Schools should also raise awareness by conducting programs and discussions among students so as to inform and educate them on healthy food and healthy eating habits,” Nyekha said.

The authorities also asked schools to raise awareness about the fact that food and tiffin brought by students from home do not necessarily contain healthy food. Schools have been also asked to keep an eye on shops close to them.
