· CHETNA’,

Diabetes Foundation (India) and Rotary Club of Delhi South-East, through the Rotary South-East Charitable Foundation have initiated CHETNA– “Childrens’ Health Education Through Nutrition and Health Awareness”, a program for the prevention of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, in order to inculcate healthy lifestyle and nutrition habits in school children, the first such program of its kind in India. This program aims to impart health education on the above issues through lectures, posters, group discussions with children, parents and teachers, and by conducting health camps. Our main aim is that each child should be made aware of a healthy lifestyle so that he/she does not suffer from obesity related disorders like diabetes and heart diseases later in life.

A Major Health Education Program Focusing on Women’s Health and Nutrition:

With the help of a grant from the Department of Science and Technology, this project has been initiated in 8 cities in India. In this project, women in the age more than 30 years are targeted for proper nutrition and lifestyle advice and early detection of various diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart problems and cancer. This is the first nutritional education program in India focusing on middle aged and elderly women.

Mass awareness camps towards early detection and proper treatment of diabetes among general public as well as among the medical and para-medical fraternity has been initiated. Several diabetes health camps have been organized for poor people at Delhi, UP and Haryana and given medical counseling, medicines and insulin free of charge. The aim of these interventions is to spread awareness about high-risk early screening for diabetes.
