It provides free lunches on school days in government and government-aided schools. The program began in 1925 when the British administration in Madras started providing midday meals with the goal of addressing malnutrition and increasing school attendance and enrollment. Now the national program feeds over 100 million children annually, making it one of the largest school lunch programs worldwide. It aims to reduce classroom hunger, boost school attendance and enrollment, promote social integration, and empower women through employment.
The Midday Meal Scheme is a school meal program started by the Government of India and K. Kamarajar to improve nutrition and encourage school attendance among children nationwide.

On the eve of the World Health Day 2016, we put forth how the mid-day meal programme — the largest of its kind in the world — is helping the country to battle hunger and malnutrition in children.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation (worldwide NGO) implements the PM POSHAN ABHIYAN by serving wholesome school lunch to over 2 million children each day in more than 22,000 Government and Government-aided schools around India across 15 states and 2 UTs across the country.
Volunteers, donors and members of the NGO are its main drivers who come together to serve the nutritious food to children who come from underserved communities.
Given that Akshaya Patra is a registered NGO as defined by Section 12A(a) of the Income Tax Act of 1961, donations made to the organisation qualify for income tax exemption under Section 80G.
The NGO’s mission to feed the children and ensure they attend school regularly has been widely lauded. In 17 years of its operation, it has grown into a mega project that feeds over 1.6 million children across India everyday
Mid-day meal is one of the huge project initiated by the government of India which feeds over 100 million school children across the country. To maintain the quality of the mid-day meal, several measures have been taken.
The mid-day meal program, also known as the school lunch program, provides meals to students in schools across India with the objectives of increasing enrollment, reducing dropout rates, and improving nutritional status. It began in 1961 and became universalized nationwide by 2005. The meal aims to provide at least one-third of daily nutritional needs and is prepared using locally sourced ingredients with changing menus. The program helps foster social equality and gender equity while enhancing children's cognitive, emotional, and social development.
This document outlines a proposed school garden project called "Gulayan sa Paaralan" at Rizal National High School with the objectives of improving vegetable production and consumption, establishing school gardens as a food source, and teaching sustainable farming techniques. The project aims to address hunger and malnutrition among students from poor families by educating them on skills they can apply at home. A budget of PHP 10,000 is proposed to purchase gardening tools and vegetable seedlings and establish the school garden using organic methods. The school, teachers, and parents' association will implement and fund the project through their funds.
The document summarizes India's Mid Day Meal Scheme (MDM), the largest school meal program in the world. It provides free lunches to over 120 million children in government and government-aided schools. Due to school closures from COVID-19, many states are now delivering MDM rations or cooked meals to students' homes to ensure they continue receiving nutrition. The objectives of MDM are to improve child nutrition, encourage school attendance, and provide meals during summer vacations for disadvantaged children in drought-affected areas.
Undernutrition is the leading cause of illness and death globally, accounting for millions of deaths per year especially in young children. India has numerous direct and indirect government programs to address undernutrition, including the Integrated Child Development Services scheme, midday meal programs, and programs focused on vitamin and mineral deficiencies. These programs aim to improve nutrition, health, and development outcomes for children, pregnant women, and other at-risk groups. However, undernutrition remains a major challenge and continued efforts are needed to meet national nutritional goals.
The document discusses India's national nutrition programs administered through various ministries. It outlines programs focused on vitamin A prophylaxis, anemia prevention, iodine deficiency control, special nutrition for vulnerable groups, balwadi pre-school meals, ICDS for children and mothers, and mid-day meals in schools. The goals are to reduce malnutrition, disease, and mortality while promoting child development, education, and maternal health. Nurse-led nutrition education teaches healthy diets, cooking, food handling and storage.
The document discusses the history and implementation of India's Mid-Day Meal program, the world's largest school feeding program providing meals to over 120 million children across India. It outlines the objectives of improving nutrition and encouraging school attendance, particularly for disadvantaged groups, and examines the impacts and challenges of implementation, such as inadequate infrastructure and issues of corruption. Revisions have attempted to improve menus and provide payment for cooks and helpers.
School feeding programs aim to address malnutrition and improve educational outcomes among vulnerable children. They provide at least one nutritious meal per day in school to enhance students' health, concentration, and academic performance. Key objectives include improving nutrition, increasing school attendance, promoting social justice by leveling opportunities for disadvantaged students, and supporting local economic development and disaster relief efforts. Effective programs require robust evaluation of costs and benefits, targeting accuracy, sustainability, and promotion of social inclusion.
Gujarat Government Initiative MDM Program on Poverty Alleviation and Child Ed...ijtsrd
Educational play a vital role in the development of human potential. The state government uses a significant portion of its limited resources to provide educational facilities throughout the country. Due to the socio economic factors that exist in society, the goal of these efforts to stimulate the percentage of universal education in general seems to be far reaching and elusive. Most children from low socioeconomic societies suffer from undernutrition, often dropping out of school at an early age, directly affecting their personality development. Several scenarios have been initiated to address these issues Sujan K Patel | Mr Deepak Pancholi ""Gujarat Government Initiative MDM Program on Poverty Alleviation and Child Education Development"" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-3 | Issue-4 , June 2019, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd23782.pdf

The document discusses the School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) implemented in the Philippines by the Department of Education from 1997 to the present. The SBFP aims to address undernutrition among public school children by providing nutritious food to beneficiaries such as incoming kindergarteners and students identified as wasted or severely wasted. The goals of the program are to alleviate hunger, improve nutritional status and learning outcomes, and increase students' cognitive function and academic performance. Each participating school must establish an SBFP Core Group responsible for managing and implementing the feeding program.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t.
