Why this matters

Holistic health of school-age children

India has the world's largest child/adolescent population; schools face a dual burden of undernutrition/anemia/infectious disease alongside rising obesity, mental health issues, and digital addiction. OJAS complements existing national efforts — RBSK, Anemia Mukt Bharat, Ayushman Bharat School Health and Wellness Programme — and supports NEP 2020 and SDGs 3, 4, 5, and 10.
