India bans homework and heavy schoolbags to prevent spinal damage:

Concerned about producing a generation of children with hunched backs and other spine problems, India has denounced schools for making students carry heavy school bags and giving young children homework.

But in large parts of rural India, children have to walk great distances, weighed down by school bags. Children have been known to ford rivers, some with books on their heads, to get to school.
The federal circular also suggests that no home work be assigned to kids in grades 1 and 2 which will also ensure they don’t need to carry books home.
