Meals distributed in anganwadi centres and schools petered out as the Modi government had made no plans for continuing the programmes during the lockdown.

The world’s two biggest child nutrition programmes – the ICDS or Integrated Child Development Scheme and the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) programme – run by the Indian government suffered a severe jolt in March and April this year as foodgrain allocated for them was not made available during the sudden, ill-conceived lockdown that began on March 24 midnight.

The offtake of foodgrain (rice, wheat and coarse grains) plummeted from 335,000 tonnes to just 109,000 tonnes for the Mid-Day Meal programme, which currently feeds an estimated 12 crore children studying in classes 1-8. As can be seen in the chart below, the mid-day meal offtake reduced to nearly a third of what it was in the same period last year.
