New Delhi: The Centre has asked the states to consider serving milk, milk products and honey with their school midday meals, explaining this can be a way of using up the country's surplus stocks of these foodstuff.

Nutritionists and health activists have welcomed the move but questioned the objective of exhausting surplus milk powder and honey. Some have cited the absence of additional funding as a deterrent to implementation, for the states would need to buy the milk and honey from the government cooperatives.

Rural health expert Abhya Bang welcomed the "win-win solution" that takes care of the nutritional needs of children and the difficulties that farmers and tribal communities face in selling milk and honey.

"Milk and milk products provide protein while honey has sugar and vitamin A," said Bang, chairperson of the Society for Education, Action and Research in Community Health, Gadchiroli.

Deepa Sinha, a Right to Food campaigner, said: "It's a good move but it should be a regular affair and not just when the government wants to exhaust its stocks."
