IMPORTANCE OF MID-DAY MEALS


If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have the safest way to health.

Hippocrates

We all know the importance of healthy and nutritional food for growing children; however every child in this country does not get the opportunity of having the same. Taking this into consideration government of India started with MID-DAY MEAL PROGRAM, one of its kind for Indian schools so that the nutrition levels required for growing children can be met adequately.

The aim of this project is to provide free meals to those children who easily do not get nutritional food. The target age group under this scheme is from pre-primary level to secondary level children, as this is the age where most of the nutrients are required for healthy growth. As the future of India depends on healthy and this project mainly covers students from lower-income or under-privileged strata of the society, municipality or government-aided schools.

As we all are aware of the problem of hunger and malnutrition in our country, the mid-day meal program has come as a blessing. A healthy child is less likely to miss school and thereby enjoy academic life to the fullest. Thus with the platform of mid-day meal scheme let us all join hands together in making of brighter future of our country.
