Childhood obesity is a significant health concern in the 21st century. With changing lifestyle, culture and environment, obesity has become a menace in a child's development leading to long-lasting effect on physical, social and emotional well-being.

In order to help our parents realize the harmful consequences of obesity in children, the Wellness Centre of MCKV organized a session on Childhood Obesity for the parents of the students of Class 3 on 9 December 2023. Dr Jayati Das, renowned paediatrician, was the guest speaker for the event. In her inimitable style, Dr Das, made our parents familiar with the various factors that lead to obesity and highlighted the crucial role parents must play in curbing it.

This interactive session was a wakening call for many of our parents.

The session ended in an optimistic note, whereby we hope to create a healthier future for our students.
