Apollo SHINE Foundation Launches Nationwide Campaign to Combat Youth NCDs, Targeting 1 Lakh College Students
Chennai, September 04, 2025: Apollo SHINE Foundation, the not-for-profit arm of Apollo Hospitals, has launched Catch ‘Em Young, India’s largest college health initiative aimed at preventing and tackling the growing burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) among youth. The initiative was formally launched at the Women’s Christian College Centenary Hall, Nungambakkam, in the presence of Dr. Govi Chezhian, Hon’ble Minister for Education, Govt. of Tamil Nadu, and Dr. Ezhilan Naganathan, Hon’ble Member of the Legislative Assembly, Thousand Lights, Chennai.
The findings from SHINE’s decade-long college screenings have raised an urgent red flag. Nearly 42% of students screened were overweight or obese, 4.5% showed elevated blood pressure, 2.2% had high blood sugar levels, and one in ten students had high triglycerides. Alarmingly, 30% of students were found to be anemic, and central obesity was identified in 10% of them highlighting how poor diets, sedentary lifestyles, and stress are already impacting youth health.
Through Catch ‘Em Young, Apollo SHINE Foundation has set a target to screen one lakh college students this year. The program goes beyond BMI, blood sugar, and blood pressure to include parameters like waist circumference, hemoglobin, HbA1c, and triglycerides, enabling early identification of risks and guiding students toward preventive care.
Dr Ilankumaran Kaliamoorthy, CEO, Apollo Hospitals said, "Our screenings have shown us that NCDs are no longer diseases of middle age, they are already present in college students. Through Catch ‘Em Young, we want to make preventive health awareness a part of campus culture, guiding young people toward healthier choices that can change the course of their lives."
Dr. Preetha Reddy, Vice Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals, said, "The rising incidence of non-communicable diseases among India’s youth is deeply concerning. Through the Catch ‘Em Young initiative, we are taking a vital step toward early screening, timely intervention, and sustained health awareness on college campuses. At Apollo, our vision has always been to build a healthier nation, and empowering young people with knowledge and preventive care is central to that mission."
For over ten years, Apollo SHINE Foundation has been running health clinics in schools and colleges across India, reaching more than one million students in Chennai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Kakinada, Trichy, and Vizag. As part of this mission, the Foundation has been conducting large-scale health screenings to identify early risks of NCDs among students. This pioneering initiative underscores Apollo’s continued commitment to early intervention, preventive healthcare, and nurturing a healthier generation of Indians.

அப்பொழுது அவர் கூறியதாவது:
16.12.2014 ஆம் ஆண்டு கொண்டு வரப்பட்ட அரசானை 401 ன் படி மதிப்பெண் தரவரிசை (Weightage) முறையில் 10th STD -20%, 12th STD - 30%, DMLT - 50% की பெற்ற மதிப்பெண்கள் அடிப்படையில் பணியிடங்களை நிரப்ப வழிவகை செய்கிறது. இந்த வெயிட்டேஜ் மதிப்பெண் முறையில், மதிப்பெண்கள் நிலையாக இருப்பதால் முன்னேற்றம் என்ற வாய்ப்பு மறுக்கப்பட்டு அனுபவம் வாய்ந்த ஏராளமான ஆய்வக நுட்புநர்கள் வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும் நிராகரிக்கப்பட்டு, அரசு பணிக்கு செல்லும் வாய்ப்பு மறுக்கப்படும் நிலை உருவாகியுள்ளது. அனைவருக்கும் சம உரிமை சம வாய்ப்பு வழங்கப்படவில்லை எனவே ஏற்றத் தாழ்வுகளைக் கொண்ட அரசாணை 401 ஐ (Weightage Mark) ரத்து செய்துவிட்டு, அனைவருக்கும் சமூக நீதிகாக்கும் பொருட்டு 16.12.2014 ஆம் ஆண்டு கொண்டு வரப்பட்ட அரசானை 401 ன் படி மதிப்பெண் தரவரிசை (Weightage) முறையில் 10th STD -20%, 12th STD - 30%, DMLT - 50% की பெற்ற மதிப்பெண்கள் அடிப்படையில் பணியிடங்களை நிரப்ப வழிவகை செய்கிறது. இந்த வெயிட்டேஜ் மதிப்பெண் முறையில், மதிப்பெண்கள் நிலையாக இருப்பதால் முன்னேற்றம் என்ற வாய்ப்பு மறுக்கப்பட்டு அனுபவம் வாய்ந்த ஏராளமான ஆய்வக நுட்புநர்கள் வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும் நிராகரிக்கப்பட்டு, அரசு பணிக்கு செல்லும் வாய்ப்பு மறுக்கப்படும் நிலை உருவாகியுள்ளது. அனைவருக்கும் சம உரிமை சம வாய்ப்பு வழங்கப்படவில்லை எனவே ஏற்றத் தாழ்வுகளைக் கொண்ட அரசாணை 401 ஐ (Weightage Mark) ரத்து செய்துவிட்டு, அனைவருக்கும் சமூக நீதிகாக்கும் பொருட்டு எழுத்து தேர்வு முறை மூலம் பணிநியமனம் செய்திட தமிழக அரசிடம் பல கட்டங்களாக நேரில் சந்தித்து பேச்சு வார்த்தை நடத்தினோம். பல கட்டங்களாக நேரில் சந்தித்து பேச்சு வார்த்தை நடத்தினோம்.
தமிழக அரசு எங்களுடைய நியாயமான கோரிக்கையை நிறைவேற்றாத காரணத்தினால் 15.03.2023 அன்றும், 22.10.2024 அன்றும், சென்னை எழும்பூர் ராஜரத்தினம் மைதானம் வளாகத்தில் உண்ணாவிரத போராட்டம் நடத்தினோம்
10.02.2025 அன்று DME வளாகத்தில் எங்களுடைய நியாயமான கோரிக்கைகளை வலியுறுத்தி போராட்டம் நடத்தினோம். அப்போராட்டத்தின் தொடர்ச்சியாக அரசின் முதன்மைச் செயலாளர் அவர்கள் தலைமையில் உயர்மட்ட ஆய்வுக் குழு கூட்டம் நடைபெற்று பேச்சு வார்த்தையில் உடன்பாடு ஏற்பட்டது.
ஆனால், தமிழக அரசோ 10.07.2025 அன்று எங்களது பணியிடங்களை எழுத்துத்தேர்வு முறையில் அறிவிக்காமல் Weightage அடிப்படையில் பணியிடங்களை நிரப்ப அறிக்கை வெளியிட்டது. அந்த அறிக்கையை கண்டித்து 22.07.2025 அன்று DMS வளாகத்தில் முற்றுகை போராட்டம் நடத்தினோம். அரசு எங்களை நேரடியாக அழைத்து பேச்சு வார்த்தை நடத்தியது. ஆனாலும் எங்களுடைய நியாயமான கோரிக்கைகள் இந்நாள்வரை நிறைவேற்றப்படவில்லை என்பது எங்கள் அனைவருக்கும் வேதனை அளிக்கிறது.
ஆகவே, எங்களது நியாயமான கோரிக்கள் அரசின் மேல்மட்ட கவனத்திற்கு கொண்டு செல்லும் விதமாக பத்திரிக்கையாளர்களை சந்திக்க வந்துள்ளோம் என்று கூறினார்.
