In a revealing two-year pilot project by the Delhi government, the School Health Clinic (SHC) scheme disclosed that a staggering 69% of 22,000 students in 20 state-run schools fell into the "red zone" of Body Mass Index (BMI), signalling potential health and nutrition risks. The initiative, involving clinics with nurses, psychologists, and assigned doctors, aims to expand to 50 schools, eventually covering all Delhi government schools. The alarming data attributes students' poor BMI to increased junk food consumption and sedentary lifestyles. Amidst these findings, a vital question arises: How can education systems globally address the growing health challenges among students, integrating physical and mental well-being into academic frameworks? The initiative addresses BMI concerns and uncovers decreased vision issues and post-pandemic stress, emphasizing the need for holistic health measures in schools.

For the first time in Bihar's history, students will have access to their board exam results in Hindi, English, and Urdu, making the information more available to a broader variety of students and their families.
