With 1 of the largest school feeding programme's in the world turning provider with an eclectic mix of insects every passing day, one is left wondering whether these insects are a part of the meal(menu) or what.The "mid day crisis" is now proving to be a handful.The meal scheme,1 of the flagship initiatives of the government in the country,has hit a low recently with news of negligence and corruption surrounding it.
As per various sources,the food served out to the children of government and aided schools,is not fit to eat.Lack of structural and monitoring measures has been cited as the problem.It is being alleged that funds for the scheme are siphoned off by people in charge, with no one to monitor the situation.
Reports are provided year after year of the successful working of the scheme whereas the facts prove otherwise.With school authorities hiring different agencies to implement the scheme in their schools, lack of funds is definitely having a detrimental effect.
The meal scheme intends to not only provide hot and nutritional meal to school children but also to keep up their enrollment in these government institutions.A healthy mind houses only in a healthy body, and for this to happen the scheme needs more care.
