Study on Mid-Day Meal Scheme

Addressing Child Malnutrition and Education through the Mid-Day Meal Scheme

Abstract

A common school lunch or school meal program is the mid-day meal. The noon-meal service is often referred to as this method. As the name shows, the chief winners are the children attending elementary portions of kindergarten. On the basis of the philosophy that a starving child is unable to focus and concentrate on his her studies, the MDM was created. The MDM is the Government of India's main initiative aimed at securing the right to education, the right of children to food, the right to life, and other facets of growth and development. The scheme tackles the underlying and fundamental determinants of child malnutrition, introduced specifically with a view to preserving the nutritional needs of rising children and the right to education of children provided by the Indian Constitution
