The Hindu published an article reporting on a new government scheme that breakfast would be provided to students up to Class V in these government schools on “all working days,” a G.O. issued by Chief Secretary V. Irai Anbu said. As much as possible, breakfast prepared with millets available in the region could be provided to students at least two days every week. The scheme cited a joint study by the University of Washington and IFPRI to contend that ensuring nutritious meals for students was essential for their health and well-being.
