OJAS is a comprehensive school health programme by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP), created to support the holistic health and well-being of school-age children.
IAP is a national professional body of pediatricians committed to improving child and adolescent health through education, advocacy and collaborative action.
OJAS brings together children, teachers, parents, pediatricians and partner organisations to promote practical, age-appropriate health education.
Nutrition, mental well-being, healthy lifestyle, safety and self-care come together as one coordinated programme.
An introductory video about the vision and purpose of IAP OJAS.
A collaborative national initiative of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) to promote holistic health and well-being among school children and adolescents through four integrated pillars.
IAP has the expertise, experience and connections with hundreds of schools, thousands of teachers and lakhs of students through its Sankalp: Sampoorna Swasthya (SSS) program, a primarily school-based, NCD prevention program, running successfully in 25 states and most Union Territories of India since the year 2023.
India has the world's largest child and adolescent population. Schools face a dual burden of undernutrition, anemia and infectious disease alongside rising obesity, mental health concerns and digital addiction. OJAS complements existing national efforts and supports preventive, age-appropriate health education.
