'68% kids under 13 face risk of backaches, hunchbacks'
Around 68% of school children under the age of 13 face the risk of backaches, that can potentially develop into hunchbacks, an ASSOCHAM survey has revealed. Nearly 88% children in the 7-13 age group carry over 45% of their weight on their backs, it noted. A school bag should not weigh over 10% of a child's weight as per law.
