Changes in Mid Day meals: Students will soon be served bananas and eggs.

The department said that the central government has also asked states to look into the possibilities of integrating locally available food goods, cereals, etc. under the “Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman Yojana,” according to a government resolution (GR) that was announced on Tuesday. The noon meal, which consists of a meagre amount of khichdi, will soon feature egg pulao, egg biryani, desserts, vegetables, and fruits for the first time for about two crore pupils in civic-run schools.Following consideration of the committee’s recommendations, the state education department made the decision to include eggs in midday meals. “The government finalised a new menu and added eggs and bananas to the midday meal to provide healthy food to students throughout the state,” Deepak stated.
