Key Achievements & Impact

Through interactive classroom sessions, live brushing demonstrations, behaviour change communication, teacher capacity building, and the distribution of oral health kits, the programme empowered children to adopt healthy oral hygiene practices, understand the importance of nutritious food choices, and stay away from tobacco. The initiative also strengthened school-level health awareness by equipping teachers to reinforce positive oral health practices, ensuring sustainability beyond the programme period.

The report highlights the programme’s achievements, district-wise coverage, case studies, stakeholder feedback, and the positive behavioural changes observed among students, families, and communities. It demonstrates how effective collaboration between the corporate sector, government, and civil society can create sustainable improvements in preventive healthcare and build healthier futures for children.
