Midday meal scheme

The West Bengal government has proposed a heartwarming initiative to feed stray dogs using leftover midday meal food in schools. This guide breaks down how the plan works, what it teaches children, and why it could change how we view animal welfare.

"Skipping breakfast has become a common occurrence these days. But, this causes a serious gap in nutrition, especially for children. Our research revealed that there is over 40% shortfall in total nutritional value of an average school kid today. But, we hope to be the bridge in a matter of few more years!"

“As the school grew, many of our students began to come from far off places in the neighbouring outskirts. Some would travel over 15 km to reach the school"

The collector had visited the Sree Devi Vilasam (SDV) UP government school last week, which has the highest enrolment of students in the region.
