Mid Day Meal Scheme is a centrally sponsored scheme whose main objective is to provide hot cooked nutritious food to the students of classes 1 to 8.
Also, it can help in increasing the enrollment in backward area schools. People start sending their children to schools that maintain even enrollment.
The third impotent aim is to spread equality and harmony in the minds of the children with the same seating arrangement.
The Mid-Day Meal Scheme is very helpful in fighting malnutrition among the children of backward and poor areas of the country.
I am working as a mid-day meal coordinator in my district and have seen these results positively at the grassroots level. I hope this answer satisfies your curiosity.
