OBESITY is a global phenomenon and is on the rise. Viewed earlier as a mere cosmetic deformity, it is now scientifically established that obesity is a disease. Untreated, obesity can lead to more than a hundred other diseases, many of which can prove fatal. Preventing and correcting obesity at an early age (childhood and adolescence) can help a person to avoid invasive surgery at a later stage in life. Statistics show that by the year 2025, India will have about 17 million obese children, a scary fact. In an effort to make a correction in childhood itself to help lead a healthy life throughout one's lifetime, Rotary Club of Koregaon Park Charitable Trust has taken the initiative to create an awareness amongst school children (std V to std XI) of the problems associated with obesity and additionally highlighting the mental trauma an obese child undergoes, through a film on the subject. It is proposed to screen this film widely amongst the schools in Maharashtra and then take it nation wide.
