ABOUT THE PROJECT

According to the study report “India: Health of the Nation's States”- The India State-Level Disease Burden Initiative in 2017 by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), it is estimated that the proportion of deaths due to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in India have increased from 37.9% in 1990 to 61.8% in 2016.
Nirantar Swasthya aims to break stereotypes regarding noncommunicable diseases as well as steer individuals to mindset transformation leading to behavioral change in how they tackle themselves and others around them. The action-based workshop approach will cater to students as well as their parents to be able to save future generations from falling prey to NCD sooner.
The program will focus on lifestyle diseases, especially related to diet and daily routine - diabetes and cardiovascular diseases and common cancer.
