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.
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.
