1. India has been describe a rich land with poor people. The
vast of population lives in rural sides .Oftain the India has a rich
land, many children faced problem of malnutrition. Rural side
students cant get sufficient midday meal.The midday meal
scheme started in 1925 by Madras corporation by British
administration. Now Indian government made it probable
scheme of nation.
Midday meal scheme is one of the best scheme ever. The
midday meal scheme is school meal program of government of
India launched to improve the nutritional status of school-aged
[generally 6-15th] children wild over india. This program supplies
free lunches on school days for children in primary and higher
primary classes students in government schools, private or non
aided-government school.
2. The midday meal scheme firstly introduced in1925
by Madras corporation under British administration. The
british management found that the young generation of
India faced various health problems.The result British
government had lazy labour/workers for their work. The
research found that, the youth had problem of
malnutrition at their pre-school time. So British
government organized the campain and distributed every
school-aged children midday meal. The indian
government in 1985 follow the midday meal program as
national program.
Mid-Day Meal Scheme aimed to:
๏ท avoid classroom hunger
๏ท increase school enrolment
๏ท increase school attendance
๏ท improve socialisation among castes
๏ท address malnutrition and
๏ท empower women through employment.
3. *financing of central and state government for
midday meal program*
It is Central government program yet the staye
government also help for financialy.
*The per day cooking cost per child at the primary level
jas been fixed to Rs4.13 while at upper primary level is
Rs6.18.
Though cooked food was to be provided states chose to
provide 'dry rations' to students with 80% of attendance
provided 3kg of wheat/rice.
In fact, as the Karnataka Human Development Report
2005 explains, the Government of Karnataka was the
โfirst to take this stepโ of involving NGOs in development
programmes. The report states that this โinvolvement of
the NGOs in multilateral/bilateral programmes, raises the
level of co-operations to another level. The NGOs
become not only implementers; they also find a place in
designing and managing programmes together with
Government at all levels.โ
This pioneering move, by the Government of Karnataka,
to make NGOs the implementing arm of the Government
has been one of the major reasons for its success in
reaching the programme's goals. The achievements of
these private-public partnerships have even influenced
the Central Government. By setting up and encouraging
private-public partnerships, the Government is
4. successfully leveraging the skills and resources of the
private sector for the greater good. Today, India's Mid-
Day Meal Scheme is one of the largest school lunch
programme in the world. 104 million children were
covered in 1.15 million schools during 2013-14.
#Now a days Indian government found the another
reason behind malnutrition i.e. illiteracy. The
rural/illiterate families unable to manage their family
resulted into insufficient nutritional food to their children.
