Bandipora: Government Girls Middle School Onagam Bandipora has announced its transformation into a junk food-free institution, taking a significant stride towards promoting the health and well-being of its students.
With utmost dedication to fostering a positive learning environment, GMS Onagam has implemented a comprehensive initiative to eliminate unhealthy food options from its premises, ensuring the nutrition and vitality of its students. By motivating parents particularly mothers to replace sugary snacks and packaged junk food with nutritious alternatives, the school empowers students to make informed dietary choices that have a lasting impact on their physical and cognitive development.
This momentous step reflects the commitment of head of the institution Javaid Jawad, a state awardee, creating a supportive community focused on the holistic growth of its students. Recognizing the impact of a balanced diet on academic performance and overall well-being, the school provides nutritious food on daily basis which contains eggs, cheese, pulses and vegetables to its students.
Javaid Jawad expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “GMS Onagam believes that fostering a healthy lifestyle is crucial in nurturing the future leaders of tomorrow. By removing junk food from our campus, we aim to cultivate a culture of well-being and instill lifelong habits that will contribute to our students’ success.”
The transition to a junk food free environment required collaborative efforts from school administrators, dedicated teachers, and engaged parents who recognize the importance of providing nutritious options to students. Boasting a supportive community, GMS Onagam is now poised to serve as a role model for other educational institutions aspiring to prioritize student welfare and health.
By taking this bold step towards a healthier future, GMS Onagam reaffirms its commitment to excellence in academics, physical well-being and the overall development of its students, the school said.
