“Need to Improve Implementation of Mid-Day Meal Scheme” Discussion in Brief

“The Mid-Day Meal Scheme is a very important program for improving child nutrition and increasing school attendance. However, in some schools the quality of food and hygiene standards are not properly maintained. Sometimes meals are not provided regularly and proper monitoring is lacking. The government should strengthen supervision, ensure better food quality and maintain hygiene in cooking and distribution so that students can receive safe and nutritious meals.”
