The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a set of important directives for all its affiliated schools in a bid to tackle the growing issue of childhood obesity among students. As per the new guidelines, schools will now be required to establish 'oil boards' in order to promote a healthy lifestyle among students.

CBSE's new directive:

Schools will now install 'oil boards' to raise awareness among children about the amount of oil used in food.

All official documents will now carry messages related to the prevention of obesity.

Nutritious food will be prioritised over junk food, and regular physical exercise will be encouraged.

Students will be encouraged to walk and use stairs instead of elevators.

Schools can design the 'oil boards' as per their convenience and creativity.
