IMPORTANCE OF MID-DAY MEAL SCHEME
By Golam Mortuja
Malda, 3rd November, 2023 : The Mid-day Meal Scheme is a school meal programme of the government of India designed to improve the nutritional status of school-age children nationwide. The government of India initiated the National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education (NP-NSPE) on 15th August 1995. The objective of the scheme is to help improve the effectiveness of primary education by improving the nutritional status of primary school children. Mid-day Meal Scheme is good for students’ health. This scheme is helpful for poverished children. It supplies nutritious food to poor children which helps them to concentrate on studies better. It has been reported that MDMS has catered to the nutritional needs of school children in both rural and urban areas. A Midday Meal (MDM) is an important instrument for combating classroom hunger and promoting better learning. But there are some problems occur. The quality of rice is not always so good. So we have a humble request to the government to take step for this problem. There is also a problem that many schools have not any shed where students can eat. They have to eat in sun. So this is a great issue for all schools. But all along we can say that it is a great step undertaken by the government.
