In a significant effort to enhance the nutritional well-being of schoolchildren, the Assam government has launched an upgraded midday meal menu under the Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN) scheme. This initiative aims to provide students with a balanced diet that supports their physical and cognitive development.
The Executive Director of Samagra Shiksha Assam (SSA) has issued an official directive to District Mission Coordinators and Assistant District Nodal Officers of PM POSHAN, calling for the immediate implementation of the new meal plan. The revised menu features 12 carefully selected recipes, ensuring students receive a diverse and healthy range of meals each week.
The new meal plan highlights the importance of a nutritious diet, providing students with the necessary intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and essential vitamins. This program is seen as a vital step in meeting the nutritional needs of young learners, which is expected to lead to improved academic performance and overall health outcomes.
