About Mid-day Meal Program

   The Cooked-Mid-Day Meal Program is one of the most important flagship programs implemented jointly by the Central & the State Government. At present the program covers around Six Lakhs of children in our district between the class I to VIII. It involves the provision of free lunch for all schooling days. The key objective of the programs are to protect children from class room hunger, increasing school enrolment and attendance and social empowerment through the provision of employment to women.
