  • Abstract:
  • It is very common to see school-going students carry heavy backpacks to school every day. This has been a known issue in most parts of the world. Regularly carrying such heavy bags can lead to various physical and mental problems like neck and back pain, fatigue, muscular discomfort and stress among the students, which can further affect their physical development in the future and may also cause and lead to poor academic performances. Governments often implement guidelines to reduce bag weight for students to solve this issue. This research paper studies the effectiveness and awareness of government guidelines in solving the problem of heavy school bags among students in Delhi/NCR schools. Quantitative and Qualitative data collected from the survey helps evaluate how students feel about carrying heavy bags, the extent to which these guidelines have been implemented and whether they have led to reducing bag weights. The survey also tells us how aware students are regarding these guidelines. Further suggestions from students have been collected which tell us how relevant this problem is and what they feel can be done to tackle this problem.
