Narendra Modi has taken a well-functioning but underfunded scheme and added his 'branding' to it. The least he could have done is allocated the kind of money the programme badly needs.

On September 29, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved the ‘National Scheme for PM Poshan’ in schools, details of which have been put out in a press release. While full scheme details are not yet available, this news has been covered widely across the print and electronic media. From the details of the scheme and financial outlays, it seems that this is just a repackaging of the school mid-day meal programme with a new name and some window dressing.

The Supreme Court in its ruling in the Right to Food case in 2001 directed that all children in government primary schools must be given a hot cooked meal on every school working day. While few states such as Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and others were already providing a cooked meal in schools, in other states dry rations were distributed once a month in schools under the National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education (NP-NSPE).
