Key Objectives & Impact
Objectives of the Mid-Day Meal Scheme
The primary objective is to improve the nutritional status of students and enhance their enrolment, attendance, and academic performance. The program also aims to provide employment opportunities for women, promote social equity, and foster community participation in schools.
Nutritional Value of Mid-Day Meals
The meals are designed to meet daily nutritional requirements of growing children. They include a combination of rice, dal, vegetables, and eggs or meat to provide essential nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins.
Impact of Mid-Day Meals
Studies show significant impact on health and academic performance. The percentage of underweight children (5-14 years) declined from 43.5% in 2005 to 35.7% in 2014, with increased enrolment and attendance rates among underprivileged children.
