Hyderabad: Beginning October 24, students attending government primary and high schools in Telangana will all enjoy a wholesome breakfast. As a Dasara gift to students, chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao will introduce the “chief minister’s breakfast” scheme (Mukhyamantri Alpahara) program at a cost of Rs 400 cr, annually.
The scheme was inspired by the state of Tamil Nadu after a team of IAS officers was sent to evaluate the effectiveness of its implementation in primary schools in the state.
The initiative is an attempt by the state government to improve children’s focus and overall school experience by ensuring that they have a healthy breakfast, especially those from economically disadvantaged sectors.
On Friday, September 15, directives were issued to begin work to provide wholesome meals to students attending government schools in the state.
