Mid-day meals in India’s government schools were envisaged to stop hunger from keeping children away from schools and to improve enrolment. Children do come to school and meals get served, but quite often, terrible accidents happen. Sometimes hygiene plays the devil, sometimes adulteration. What caused all the harm earlier this week was reportedly a can of pesticides. Investigating teams of doctors found organophosphorus compounds, mostly found in insecticides, in the meals—plates of rice, soybean and lentils. The lunch killed 27 children—all between age four and 12—at a government school in Chhapra district in Bihar, about 80km from the state capital Patna, whie more than a dozen are still hospitalized.
And as we are reading this, there are more reports of mid-day meals-related hospitalizations in Madhubani, again in Bihar.
Why are children dying of the food that is meant to nourish them and draw them to schools? Groundswell of opinion on mid-day meals seems to suggest a host of wrongs that happen in the name of providing food to children.
Here are some of the most compelling takes on mid-day meals and suggestions to plug the loopholes:
A research paper by Stephanie Bonds from the University of California, Berkeley, found the mid-day meals to be extremely successful in raising enrolment rates, particularly among children from the lowest socio-economic backgrounds. The effect, the paper says, was more pronounced for those with the least educated parents and lowest economic status.
