Keeping such shops away from school premises alone will not of much help until the parents keep their children away from fast/junk foods at homes. Not only children but the parents of present days as well are found to have too much weakness towards such foods, which are not only cooked at home but often ordered online and being enjoyed by all together. At home as well the demands of the children for such foods easy to prepare and feed them get minimal objections from mothers.
