The Karnataka government has announced a statewide ban on the sale of junk food in schools and colleges, aiming to promote healthier eating habits among students. The restriction will apply to educational institutions across Bengaluru and the rest of the state, limiting students' access to unhealthy food during school and college hours.
The move is part of the government's broader initiative to improve student health, nutrition and overall well-being by encouraging balanced food choices on educational campuses. Authorities believe the decision will help create a healthier learning environment and reduce the consumption of highly processed foods among children and young adults.
