New Delhi: The Union Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved the Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN), a modified version of the existing National Scheme for Mid-Day Meal in Schools (MDM) on 29 September, 2021. The MDM scheme is a centrally sponsored scheme under which the government provides one hot cooked meal to all children studying in classes 1 to 8 in government and government-aided schools. 

The Central government has announced a total budget of 1,30,794.90 crore rupees for PM POSHAN, which will be shared between the centre and the states. The scheme will operate for a period of five years  between 2021-22 to 2025-26. The centre and state governments will continue to share a 60:40 split in the expenses incurred for the implementation of the scheme with a financial outlay of  54061.73 crore rupees from the central government, and 31,733.17 crore rupees from state governments and union territory administrations. The centre will also bear an additional cost of 45,000 crore   rupees on food grains.
