MID DAY MEALS: A CRUCIAL PLAN TO ATTRACT KIDS FOR EDUCATION

As the NDA govt, has put up a plan long time back, to provide kids with one meal in case they attend the basic primary classes. When this plan was made , it was thought that the thought of food would attract the small kids towards school. which later happened too. But one or the other day, we see news from different parts of india.... like teachers are busy in cooking the melas as they have to feed the kids. and in some places schools are being run in a room where food is also being prepared. and apart from that, regular reports of kids getting hospitalized due to food poisoning and malfunctioning of the whole system are also not new.govt, should opt for packaged food. as
1.it removes maximum risk f getting contaminated.
2. Saves teacher's precious time which they can devote to educating the children,
3. It will also not break the concentration of kids.as they will look upon to their studies well
without any disturbance.

Moreover, plans like these should aim at realistic aspects. first of all govt. needs to employ rural people so that they can themselves send their kids to schools for education not for a mere meal. Without removing the root cause , this problem will always persist.
