SEHAT
SEHAT began in Delhi in 1986 as a small project on oral dental care in municipal schools. The initial pilot programme was run, selecting low-income schools for four years, developing methods and materials for incorporating health topics into the curriculum. In 1996 the pilot project began in 50 municipal primary schools in two wards of the city. This phase, which ended in 1998, was judged a huge success and subsequently another 43 schools, from two more wards, were included for the phase from 1999 to 2002. The programme is funded by HealthLink Worldwide, receives infrastructure and human resource support from the BMC and is planned, implemented and monitored by the Research Office in the Education Department. SEHAT approaches school health issues from a curriculum integrated perspective. There is a conviction that if schools become more health promoting, then both children and their families will gain greater control over their health. The programme is unique as it has integrated the BMC teachers and support staff and SEHAT’s project staff, and there are linkages with the Health Department and NGOs.
Evaluation of the pilot study (1997) has shown increased awareness of health issues and personal care, along with increased involvement of parents and teachers in the programme. As of 2005, the programme is still active.
