&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre has rebranded the 26-year old national mid-day meal scheme to give a hot cooked meal to 11.8 crore government school students from Class 1 to 8, with the Cabinet approving a proposal to rename it as the PM POSHAN (Poshan Shakti Nirman) scheme on September 29.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the next financial year, it will also cover the 24 lakh children studying in balvatikas, the pre-primary section of government schools, Education Ministry officials said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Although this year&amp;rsquo;s budget for mid-day meals remains unchanged, an additional ₹266 crore is expected to be added as the Central government&amp;rsquo;s share to cater to balvatika students from 2022-23, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told journalists after the Cabinet decision.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A key recommendation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The extension of mid-day meals to pre-primary students, who are to be incorporated into the formal education system, was a key recommendation of the National Education Policy 2020 and the population of balvatikas &amp;mdash; which offer one year of pre-school classes &amp;mdash; is expected to rise from the existing 24 lakh as the policy is implemented.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre has rebranded the 26-year old national mid-day meal scheme to give a hot cooked meal to 11.8 crore government school students from Class 1 to 8, with the Cabinet approving a proposal to rename it as the PM POSHAN (Poshan Shakti Nirman) scheme on September 29.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Although this year&amp;rsquo;s budget for mid-day meals remains unchanged, an additional ₹266 crore is expected to be added as the Central government&amp;rsquo;s share to cater to balvatika students from 2022-23, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told journalists after the Cabinet decision.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A key recommendation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The extension of mid-day meals to pre-primary students, who are to be incorporated into the formal education system, was a key recommendation of the National Education Policy 2020 and the population of balvatikas &amp;mdash; which offer one year of pre-school classes &amp;mdash; is expected to rise from the existing 24 lakh as the policy is implemented.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Centre rebrands mid-day meals scheme PM POSHAN; no progress on National Education Policy&amp;rsquo;s recommendation to start offering breakfasts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre has rebranded the 26-year old national mid-day meal scheme to give a hot cooked meal to 11.8 crore government school students from Class 1 to 8, with the Cabinet approving a proposal to rename it as the PM POSHAN (Poshan Shakti Nirman) scheme on September 29.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the next financial year, it will also cover the 24 lakh children studying in balvatikas, the pre-primary section of government schools, Education Ministry officials said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Although this year&amp;rsquo;s budget for mid-day meals remains unchanged, an additional ₹266 crore is expected to be added as the Central government&amp;rsquo;s share to cater to balvatika students from 2022-23, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told journalists after the Cabinet decision.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A key recommendation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The extension of mid-day meals to pre-primary students, who are to be incorporated into the formal education system, was a key recommendation of the National Education Policy 2020 and the population of balvatikas &amp;mdash; which offer one year of pre-school classes &amp;mdash; is expected to rise from the existing 24 lakh as the policy is implemented.&lt;/p&gt;

Centre extends mid-day meal scheme to 24 lakh pre-primary students

-The Hindu Centre rebrands mid-day meals scheme PM POSHAN; no progress on National Education Policy’s recommendation to start offering breakfasts. The Centre has rebranded the 26-year old national mid-day meal scheme to give a hot cooked meal to 11.8 crore government school students from Class 1 to 8, with the Cabinet approving a proposal to rename it as the PM POSHAN (Poshan Shakti Nirman) scheme on September 29. From the next financial year, it will also cover the 24 lakh children studying in balvatikas, the pre-primary section of government schools, Education Ministry officials said. Although this year’s budget for mid-day meals remains unchanged, an additional 266 crore is expected to be added as the Central government’s share to cater to balvatika students from 2022-23, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told journalists after the Cabinet decision. A key recommendation The extension of mid-day meals to pre-primary students, who are to be incorporated into the formal education system, was a key recommendation of the National Education Policy 2020 and the population of balvatikas — which offer one year of pre-school classes — is expected to rise from the existing 24 lakh as the policy is implemented.
