Midday Meal Scheme from class- 6th to 8th
A Nutritional Lifeline
The Midday Meal Scheme (MDM) is a beacon of hope for millions of school-age children across India. Launched in 1995, this government program aims to address hunger, malnutrition, and low school attendance. Here’s what you need to know:
Free and Balanced Meals: Under the MDM, children attending government and government-aided elementary schools receive free lunches on working days. These meals are more than just sustenance; they’re carefully designed to provide balanced nutrition.
What’s on the Menu?: The typical midday meal includes staples like rice, lentils, vegetables, and fruits. It’s a wholesome combination that ensures children get essential nutrients. Hygiene and cleanliness are emphasized during meal preparation and serving.
India, as a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, has committed to providing adequate nutritious food for its children. The MDM is a tangible step toward fulfilling this promise.
Our midday meal program isn’t just about food; it’s about empowering young minds. It ensures that hunger doesn’t hinder education. So, here’s to the MDM—a lifeline that nourishes dreams and fuels brighter futures.
