  1. 1 · Open in two lines. India's double burden includes rising obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Eat Right India (2018) tackles the food side and the Fit India Movement (2019) the activity side.
  2. 2 · Draw the three pillars. [Table: Eat Safe, Eat Healthy, Eat Sustainable, with focus and examples]
  3. 3 · How Eat Right India works.
    • Systems approach: businesses and citizens.
    • Eat Right School, Campus, Station; Clean Street Food Hubs.
    • Challenges, melas, convergence, NetProFaN.
  4. 4 · Fit India Movement.
    • 29 August 2019; Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
    • Fit India School certification; runs and cyclothons.
    • Fitness protocols; half an hour a day.
  5. 5 · Comparison. Food side versus activity side; FSSAI versus the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
  6. 6 · Role in NCD prevention. Less salt, sugar, fat and trans fat; more activity; healthier schools, campuses and street food.
  7. 7 · In the community. Eat Right Campus certification for a college, with daily Fit India activity.
  8. 8 · Close in one line. Eat right and get fit: two halves of one healthy lifestyle.

Scoring tip: Give each movement its launching body and year first; the three-pillar table is the quickest way to show depth.
