Welcome to Healthwise by Tarang, a podcast channel brought to you by Tarang Health Alliance, founded by Dr Rahul Mehra, India’s Representative to the UNESCO Global Chair for Health & Education. At the heart of our mission is the advocacy for mandatory health education as an integral part of the school curriculum across India. Through this podcast, we delve into a range of critical topics surrounding health, lifestyle, and well-being. Tune in as we bring expert insights, discuss pressing health issues, and explore how education can play a pivotal role in shaping a healthier future for all.
India has one of the largest school-going populations in the world. Yet, many educators and parents are asking a difficult question: Are we preparing children merely to pass exams—or to navigate life? Despite increasing academic competition, we are also seeing rising concerns around adolescent stress, emotional wellbeing, unhealthy lifestyles, digital overexposure, peer pressure, and reduced coping skills.
In this episode, Ms. Leena Khaneja, Director of Operations at Tarang Health Alliance, discusses “Beyond Academics: Why Life Skills Education Demands a Pedagogy Shift in India.”
