Good to hear this attempt by @cbseindia29
@fssaiindia why don’t you give a definition of HFSS to the Nation?
Listen to the teachers if not public health experts.
Once defined it makes the task easy on what is banned from canteens and what kids can avoid.
Make it simple guys !

The statue of Lady Justice has been redesigned to reflect a modernised version of justice in India. In the previous version, 'Lady Justice' was portrayed with a blindfold over her eyes. The new statue, however, has open eyes, symbolising that "justice is no longer blind".

[Dr Sujeet Ranjan @sujeetranjan]

The newly unveiled Lady Justice statue at India's Supreme Court symbolizes a shift from colonial traditions to modern values, emphasizing constitutional justice, awareness & inclusivity. With open eyes and a Constitution replacing the sword, it marks a significant transformation

WHO recommends stronger policies to protect children from the harmful impact of food marketing. Awareness among the general population at all levels is very important.

Despite the well intended regulations, misleading ads of food products abundant. Solution lies in amending them as envisaged by the government’s plan https://t.co/DepTfXzm5q
