Apollo SHINE’s pan-India NCD screening campaign for college students identifying health risks early, before they become long-term challenges.
Screen early. Create awareness. Build healthier young adults.
India’s largest college health initiative focused on NCDs — the scale, geography and student momentum of Catch ’em Young.
NCDs are increasingly relevant among young adults. College students face growing risk due to lifestyle factors, and many health risks remain undiagnosed until complications arise.
Irregular meals, processed food, and low nutrition intake.
Long hours of screen time with minimal physical activity.
Academic and social pressures affecting mental and physical health.
Rising prevalence of tobacco and alcohol use among youth.
More than 25% of urban college students screened through Apollo SHINE were overweight or obese.
