Healthy Lifestyle Awareness Program at Anand Niketan School

Shivam Charitable Trust conducted a Healthy Lifestyle Awareness Program at Anand Niketan School, Maninagar, Ahmedabad, with the objective of helping students understand the importance of healthy eating, physical activity, diabetes prevention, fitness and balanced lifestyle habits from an early age.

The session was designed according to the age and understanding level of the students, making the entire program simple, educational, interactive and enjoyable. Through videos, questions, activities and practical examples, students were encouraged to understand how their everyday food and lifestyle choices can influence their long-term health.

Healthy Lifestyle Awareness Program for Pre-Primary to Class 3

For younger students from Pre-Primary to Class 3, the Healthy Lifestyle Awareness Program focused mainly on healthy and unhealthy food choices.

Students were introduced to the meaning of junk food and were explained why excessive consumption of foods such as pizza, burgers, chips, chocolates and sugary drinks may negatively affect their health.

The students also learned about nutritious food choices such as fruits, vegetables, milk, pulses, grains and other healthy foods. Animated and educational videos were used to make the learning experience more interesting and easier for young children to understand.

Students were also invited on stage and asked simple questions. This encouraged them to participate actively and made the session more engaging.

Healthy Lifestyle Awareness Program for Class 3 to 9

For students from Class 3 to 9, the session included more detailed information about diabetes prevention, nutrition and healthy lifestyle habits.

Students were introduced to what diabetes is and why prevention and healthy habits are important. They were educated about sugar content in different food items and discussed which foods should be consumed regularly and which foods should be limited or avoided.

The session also highlighted the importance of reducing excessive consumption of junk food, packaged food and sugary beverages.

Students were encouraged to develop healthier daily habits, including:

• Balanced nutrition
• Regular physical activity
• Adequate sleep
• Limiting excessive junk food
• Reducing sugary beverages
• Spending time in outdoor activities

Animated educational videos were again used to make the topics easier to understand. An interactive question-and-answer session allowed students to ask questions and participate directly.

Mobile and Screen Time Awareness for Students

An important part of the Healthy Lifestyle Awareness Program was awareness about excessive mobile phone, television and screen usage.

Students were encouraged to reduce unnecessary screen time and spend more time participating in outdoor games, sports, exercise and other physical activities.

The session also encouraged students to value meaningful family time and develop a healthier balance between technology, education, recreation and physical activity.

Fun Dance and Physical Activity Session

To make the program energetic and memorable, a fun dance activity was conducted at the end of the session.

The activity helped students experience the importance of movement and physical fitness in an enjoyable way. Instead of only listening to information, students actively participated and experienced how physical activity can be fun.

Shivam Charitable Trust’s School Health Awareness Mission

The Anand Niketan School program is part of the broader vision of Shivam Charitable Trust to promote health awareness among children and young people.

Schools provide an excellent opportunity to develop healthy habits at an early age. By educating children about nutrition, physical activity, junk food, diabetes prevention and screen-time awareness, health awareness can become a part of everyday life.

Shivam Charitable Trust aims to conduct similar awareness programs in schools across Ahmedabad and Gujarat, helping students understand the importance of making healthier choices from childhood.

Building a Healthier Generation Through Awareness

Through interactive education, videos, activities, quizzes, questions and physical activities, Shivam Charitable Trust aims to make health education meaningful and memorable for students.

The program at Anand Niketan School, Maninagar was an important step toward creating greater awareness among children about healthy living.
