Now insects in mid-day meal in delhi school

It refers to now insects found in mid-day meal for school-children in Delhi. Such cases of finding frogs, lizards, rats etc. in mid-day mail funded by government as world?s largest school-lunch programme daily to about 12 crores school-children have become quite common. There have been many incidents of kids falling ill after taking fresh cooked mid-day meal in schools. Only packaged food (if not biscuits) within expiry-date as mentioned on packs should be served in schools to ensure hygiene. There are frequent reports of sub-standard raw-material like rice and pulses with lot of foreign ingredients being used to cook mid-day meal in schools. It will also take care of peculiar food-habits of some children like many avoid onion and garlic. It may be recalled that 30 Parliamentarians had recommended packaged biscuits procured from reputed companies recommended by Mumbai-based Biscuits Manufacturers Welfare Association (BMWA) to replace cooked food in Mid-Day meal-scheme for school-children. Rather government can further save money by inspiring big manufacturers of packaged food to partially or fully sponsor the programme by getting publicity of their trade-name in return.
