Over 4,000 students to benefit from Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme in Madurai

The Hindu  

Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme is a trailblazing effort in keeping intact the Dravidian movement’s ideology that poverty or caste must not be an obstacle to one’s education, Chief Minister M.K. Speaking at the launch of the scheme at Adhimoolam Corporation Primary School here on Thursday, he said inaugurating the scheme at the school located at Keela Anna Thoppu was like a fitting tribute to former Chief Minister and DMK founder C.N. Minister for School Education Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi said the scheme was a boon for many working mothers who might not have sufficient time in the morning to cook food. Three kitchens to prepare breakfast would function at Singarayar Colony, Nelpettai and Subramaniapuram Corporation Primary School, said Chief Educational Officer K. Karthika.
