This manual aims to act as a guide for schoolteachers. It guides them in implementing an intervention tool for the prevention of risk factors of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and teaches selected relevant life skills to schoolchildren. The intervention tool imparts knowledge and describes activities to be conducted for promoting healthy lifestyles to prevent NCDs and equips them with adaptive and positive behaviour to deal with the challenges of everyday life. The manual details classroom-/school-level activities for students of classes I–X (aged 5–15 years) through teachers as facilitators. This intervention tool is to be implemented within the ambit of the health-promoting school initiative of the World Health Organization. These activities are designed to motivate students to take the corrective measures needed to lead a healthy life.
