In an effort to boost the midday meal (MDM) scheme, the state government will now serve nutrition-packed meals to around two crore students studying in government-run schools across the state. Instead of the same old khichdi, the students will be served egg pulao, egg biryani, sweets, vegetables and fruits as part of their midday meal.
This marks the first time that the school education department has incorporated eggs and bananas into the midday meal menu. The school education department on Tuesday evening issued a detailed government resolution on the enhanced MDM menu. The state government appointed a committee headed by celebrity chef Vishnu Manohar of the Vishnu ki Rasoi chain of restaurants to suggest improvements in the state’s midday meal menu to enhance the quality and nutritional value of students’ diets in March.
