Mid Day meal programme

In 2001, the Supreme Court passed an order stating "A basic entitlement of every child in every Government and Government assisted Primary Schools with a prepared Mid-day Meal with a minimum content of 300 calories and 8–12 grams of protein each day of school for a minimum of 200 days"

The Mid-day Meal Scheme is a school meal programme of the Government of India designed to improve the nutritional status of school-age children nationwide.

The roots of the programme can be traced back to the Pre-Independence era, when a Mid-day Meal Programme was introduced in 1925 in Madras Corporation by the British administration. The Government of India initiated the National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education (NP-NSPE) on 15th August 1995.

The “annamrita program” is carried out in Government aided and non-aided Schools. The Education Inspectors of The Education Department of the Government of Maharashtra allocate the schools. The same is approved by The Parent Teacher Association and the Management of these schools.

The objectives of the scheme are:

Improve the effectiveness of primary education by improving the nutritional status of children thereby reducing malnutrition.

Answer :-

                                              Midday Meals

Let me congratulate the government for providing the midday meals in schools. Unluckily many good measures become bad because of corruption. The midday meal is meeting the same fate. In government schools the quality of midday food does not meet the required standards. Sometimes this food is so harmful that children have fallen ill after consuming it. What is the solution to the problem? Discontinuing the service will not do any good. The poor students of the government schools do need such help. The need is to create a system that ensures the proper service. Strict action should be taken against those who are found guilty. There must be some schools that are doing wonderful service. They should be awarded with cash prizes and certificates.
