Rotary Club of Koregaon Park Initiated the Project Fight Childhood Obesity campaign to create awareness about the obesity among the children and health risk associated with the obesity. Reportedly, by 2025 as per WHO, India will have over 17 million obese children and may stand second among the 180 countries . This is very alarming situation and needs to be tackled at early stage so that reversibility is easy. RCKP in its endeavour to spread the awareness among the children , has took initiative and conceptualised Fight Childhood Obesity Campaign in the year 2017. RCKP prepared a documentary titled ZERO LIFE . This film educates the viewer about the obesity, the cause, consequences and prevention . As a Pilot Project, RCKP initiated this campaign at District Level and involved large number of Schools. In the year 2018 a drawing competition held at various schools at district level and almost 15000 School children participated in this event . Next step RCKP wants to sale up and take this campaign to the state level. Towards this , a Mega Drawing competition being organised for the students all over the state from 14th November (Children's Day) to 14th December 2019 .
