Peer review
A review mapping national programmes, schemes, regulations, and guidelines addressing overweight and obesity, with a focus on Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) strategies. Six major policy instruments were identified, including the National Programme for Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases and Eat Right India. The study finds scope to strengthen SBCC components, particularly targeting adolescents and youth, and recommends integrating obesity prevention into broader nutrition and health initiatives like POSHAN 2.0.
