Mid Day Meal scheme--food for the hungry or fodder for the money mongers?
Most of us are aware that Mid Day meal scheme has started to show results. There is a wide increase of children attending school now. (Read Government schools) After all, Education will definitely taste better when you don't go hungry. However, this scheme doesn't go free of controversies. A story ran by indiatogether.org caught my attention...looks like corrupted political leaders are 'eating' through the plates of these hungry little children. And this definitely will not be the last story... after all, with over US$1.9 billion funding running the show, more private pockets will be filled at the expense of millions of malnourished, starving children.
