State-run schools in West Bengal to provide midday meals to parents during summer vacation- Education News

The West Bengal government has directed state-run schools to provide midday meals supplies to students’ parents during the summer vacations so that they are not deprived of the facility.

According to a school education department official, this is the first time that midday meals supplies are going to be distributed to school students during the pandemic period. Previously, these mid-day meals were provided for school students during the Covid-19-enforced school closures.

All the district magistrates in the state were directed via a notice on Tuesday to arrange for the distribution of the midday meal supplies to the guardians of beneficiary students. Officials were further told to come up with a distribution plan by May 25 in order for the distribution of supplies to be carried out at every school. Each student is entitled to 2 kg of rice, 2 kg of potato, 250 g of sugar, 250 g of pulses, and 1 piece of soap, according to the notice.
