Common Myths About Mid Day Meal Program That Need
To Be Vanished
Gone are the days when many impoverished families
considered a child to be an additional resource
to fetch income to feed the family. With the
initiative of the Mid-day Meal Scheme, the
government has given many poor and
underprivileged parents a solid reason to send
their children to school. Through hunger, the
problem of literacy was targeted. Year after
year, many children are now encouraged to attend
school. But still, there are some loopholes
related to the mid day meal programme in the
minds of unaware and uneducated parents that need
to be resolved so that the kids can attain the
desired education. Here we will be talking about
the common myths related to mid day meal programs
that are totally wrong and must be dispelled.
MYTH - Mid day meals are not healthy
nutritious. It only targets hunger, not tackling
nutritional deficiencies found in children. FACT
- It is often seen that people have this mindset
related to the nutritional value of mid day
meals. However, the Mid-Day Meal Guidelines
guarantee that meals include enough amounts of
proteins, carbs, and other micronutrients. MDM
must supply at least 450 calories with 12 grams
of protein to elementary school pupils,
according to the Ministry of Human Resource
Development. MYTH No measure has been taken to
check the food quality and hygiene. FACT - In
the form of surprise visits by authorities,
proper assessment and monitoring have been done
from time to time. This involves things like
pre-tasting prepared meals, meetings to assure a
high quality, lab testing of samples, and
hygiene improvements, among other things. Yes,
careful monitoring is required to enhance
quality standards. MYTH Mid day meal schemes
dont focus on the overall development of a child.
