Due to increased risk of heart diseases in young people, the need of the hour is to increase awareness about heart diseases from a young age. The school programmes have been organised as young minds are comparatively much more receptive to any new learning. The importance of leading a healthy life right from childhood needs to be integrated in the school curriculum.
