India has been describe a rich
land with poor people. The vast of population lives in rural sides. Often the
India has a rich land, many children faced problem of malnutrition. Rural side
students can’t get sufficient midday meal. The midday meal scheme started in
1925 by Madras Corporation by British administration. Now Indian government
made it probable scheme of nation.
Midday meal scheme is one of
the best scheme ever. The midday meal scheme is school meal program of
government of India launched to improve the nutritional status of school-aged
[generally 6-15th] children wild over India. This program supplies free lunches
on school days for children in primary and higher primary classes students in
government schools, private or non aided-government school.
*Idea behind
midday meal scheme*
The
midday meal scheme firstly introduced in1925 by Madras Corporation under
British administration. The British management found that the young generation
of India faced various health problems. The result British government had lazy
labour/workers for their work. The research found that, the youth had problem
of malnutrition at their pre-school time. So British government organized the campaign
and distributed every school-aged children midday meal. The Indian government
in 1985 follow the midday meal program as national program.
Mid-Day Meal Scheme aimed to:
- avoid classroom
hunger
- increase school
enrolment
- increase school
attendance
- improve
socialisation among castes
- address
malnutrition and
- empower women
through employment.
*financing of central and state government for
midday meal program*
It is Central
government program yet the stat government also help for financially.
*The per day cooking cost per child at the primary level
jas been fixed to Rs4.13 while at upper primary level is Rs6.18.
Though cooked food was to be provided states chose to
provide 'dry rations' to students with 80% of attendance provided 3kg of
wheat/rice.
In fact, as the Karnataka Human Development Report 2005
explains, the Government of Karnataka was the ‘first to take this step’ of
involving NGOs in development programmes. The report states that this
‘involvement of the NGOs in multilateral/bilateral programmes, raises the level
of co-operations to another level. The NGOs become not only implementers; they
also find a place in designing and managing programmes together with Government
at all levels.’
This pioneering move, by the Government of Karnataka, to
make NGOs the implementing arm of the Government has been one of the major
reasons for its success in reaching the programme's goals. The achievements of
these private-public partnerships have even influenced the Central Government.
By setting up and encouraging private-public partnerships, the Government is
successfully leveraging the skills and resources of the private sector for the
greater good. Today, India's Mid-Day Meal Scheme is one of the largest school
lunch programme in the world. 104 million children were covered in 1.15 million
schools during 2013-14.
#Now a days Indian government found another reason behind
malnutrition i.e. illiteracy. The rural/illiterate families unable to manage
their family resulted into insufficient nutritional food to their
children.
