The mid-day meal scheme of the Indian Government is one the most extensive meal programs in schools. This meal program has impacted the education scenario in the country concerning enrolment, attendance, and completion of school education. The objective is to provide nutritious meals to children in Government and Government-aided schools to improve health and learning outcomes. Hence, more than 400 NGOs are currently implementing this scheme in their capacities. As a philanthropist working in such an organization called the Annamrita Foundation, I will share an inspiring story of a little girl hailing from a small village known as Mahul, Maharashtra, to help you understand how mid-day meals in schools are changing lives.
