Madurai: “I consider the scheme of providing breakfast to government school students not as an expense, but as a duty of the government,” said Chief Minister Stalin.
Speaking at the launch of this program at Adimulam Municipal Corporation Primary School in Madurai, he said: This program has been implemented to provide food first and then education to children who come to the government school hungry. Through this program, which is practiced in American and European countries, the learning ability of students has improved and attendance has increased.
Despite the financial burden, we will continue to work to alleviate the burden of hunger. Karunanidhi launched the Child and Pregnant Nutrition Program in 1971. MGR created more centers and allocated additional funds for the nutrition program. Karunanidhi, who came to power in 1989, gave additional nutrients like eggs, chickpeas and green gram.
All this is mid-day meal plan. When I visited a school in Chennai, I was shocked to learn that students came without eating in the morning. This plan came to my mind then.
Currently, in the first phase, 1.14 lakh children will be fed in 1,545 schools. It costs Rs 12.75 per child per day. It is not a cost; Government duty. Treating them like their children, the officials should provide quality food. He said this. Ministers Geetha Jeevan, Velu, Murthy, Periyakaruppan, Thiagarajan, Additional Chief Secretary Shambu Kalolikar and others participated.

When the meal is served, it should be eaten completely; He takes two mouthfuls. By then he had washed his hands on that plate.
The program started by the Chief Minister is being humiliated by the Chief Minister himself. The food produced by the farmers has been wasted by hand washing.
