Purchase of quality materials for midday meals ordered
The HinduJolted by the death of 23 children in a midday meal tragedy at Chhapra, the Bihar government has made it compulsory for schools to purchase quality food items so that students get proper meals. According to new guidelines, every school has to purchase mustard and vegetable oil bearing Agmark and other items bearing ISI mark, Director of Bihar Midday meal scheme R. Lakshmanan said in Patna on Sunday. Midday meal, flagship nutritional programme of the Union government, has been in force in 70,260 schools of Bihar covering 1.30 crore students and the Chhapra tragedy has brought the scheme under strict scrutiny. Mr. Lakshmanan said the Principal Secretary of the Education Department Amarjeet Sinha and other officials, including himself, have been making frequent trips to schools to ensure that standard midday meals are served to students as per the guidelines.
