&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Parliamentary panel pushes for it in all government schools in coming academic year&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education has recommended that all government schools start providing free breakfast in the coming academic year, as part of an expansion of the mid-day meal scheme envisaged by the National Education Policy. However, Education Ministry officials say a severe funding crunch is likely to delay the initiative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Free breakfasts would involve an additional budget of ₹4,000 crore, according to senior officials, but the School Education Department has seen a budget cut of almost ₹5000 crore this year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In its submission to the panel, the Department said it had proposed two new components to the mid-day meal scheme during 2021-22. One, an expansion of coverage from the current Class 1-8 students, to include pre-primary students as well, and two, the provision of breakfast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Department in its written submission also informed that a number of States have started providing breakfast to the students in the mid-day meal scheme. The Committee recommends that under the schemes all schools should start providing breakfast [for] the students in the next academic session as envisaged in NEP, 2020,&amp;rdquo; said the panel&amp;rsquo;s report, submitted to the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Centre&amp;rsquo;s current expenditure on the scheme is about ₹11,000 crore for 11.8 crore students. We were hoping to start providing breakfast from April when the new session starts, but we estimate it will cost us another ₹4,000 crore. There have been major budget cuts, so the plan has been delayed by several months now,&amp;rdquo; said a senior Ministry official.&lt;/p&gt;

However, Education Ministry officials say a severe funding crunch is likely to delay the initiative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Free breakfasts would involve an additional budget of 4,000 crore, according to senior officials, but the School Education Department has seen a budget cut of almost 5000 crore this year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In its submission to the panel, the Department said it had proposed two new components to the mid-day meal scheme during 2021-22. One, an expansion of coverage from the current Class 1-8 students, to include pre-primary students as well, and two, the provision of breakfast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Department in its written submission also informed that a number of States have started providing breakfast to the students in the mid-day meal scheme. The Committee recommends that under the schemes all schools should start providing breakfast [for] the students in the next academic session as envisaged in NEP, 2020,&amp;rdquo; said the panel&amp;rsquo;s report, submitted to the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Centre&amp;rsquo;s current expenditure on the scheme is about 11,000 crore for 11.8 crore students. We were hoping to start providing breakfast from April when the new session starts, but we estimate it will cost us another 4,000 crore. There have been major budget cuts, so the plan has been delayed by several months now,&amp;rdquo; said a senior Ministry official.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/parliament-proceedings-severe-fund-crunch-likely-to-delay-free-breakfast-scheme/article34037436.ece?homepage=true&quot; title=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/parliament-proceedings-severe-fund-crunch-likely-to-delay-free-breakfast-scheme/article34037436.ece?homepage=true&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Parliamentary panel pushes for it in all government schools in coming academic year&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education has recommended that all government schools start providing free breakfast in the coming academic year, as part of an expansion of the mid-day meal scheme envisaged by the National Education Policy. However, Education Ministry officials say a severe funding crunch is likely to delay the initiative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Free breakfasts would involve an additional budget of ₹4,000 crore, according to senior officials, but the School Education Department has seen a budget cut of almost ₹5000 crore this year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In its submission to the panel, the Department said it had proposed two new components to the mid-day meal scheme during 2021-22. One, an expansion of coverage from the current Class 1-8 students, to include pre-primary students as well, and two, the provision of breakfast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Department in its written submission also informed that a number of States have started providing breakfast to the students in the mid-day meal scheme. The Committee recommends that under the schemes all schools should start providing breakfast [for] the students in the next academic session as envisaged in NEP, 2020,&amp;rdquo; said the panel&amp;rsquo;s report, submitted to the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The Centre&amp;rsquo;s current expenditure on the scheme is about ₹11,000 crore for 11.8 crore students. We were hoping to start providing breakfast from April when the new session starts, but we estimate it will cost us another ₹4,000 crore. There have been major budget cuts, so the plan has been delayed by several months now,&amp;rdquo; said a senior Ministry official.&lt;/p&gt;

One, an expansion of coverage from the current Class 1-8 students, to include pre-primary students as well, and two, the provision of breakfast.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;The Department in its written submission also informed that a number of States have started providing breakfast to the students in the mid-day meal scheme. The Committee recommends that under the schemes all schools should start providing breakfast [for] the students in the next academic session as envisaged in NEP, 2020,&rdquo; said the panel&rsquo;s report, submitted to the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;The Centre&rsquo;s current expenditure on the scheme is about ₹11,000 crore for 11.8 crore students. We were hoping to start providing breakfast from April when the new session starts, but we estimate it will cost us another ₹4,000 crore. There have been major budget cuts, so the plan has been delayed by several months now,&rdquo; said a senior Ministry official.</p>

Parliament proceedings: Severe fund crunch likely to delay free breakfast scheme -Priscilla Jebaraj

-The Hindu Parliamentary panel pushes for it in all government schools in coming academic year The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education has recommended that all government schools start providing free breakfast in the coming academic year, as part of an expansion of the mid-day meal scheme envisaged by the National Education Policy. However, Education Ministry officials say a severe funding crunch is likely to delay the initiative. Free breakfasts would involve an additional budget of 4,000 crore, according to senior officials, but the School Education Department has seen a budget cut of almost 5000 crore this year. In its submission to the panel, the Department said it had proposed two new components to the mid-day meal scheme during 2021-22. One, an expansion of coverage from the current Class 1-8 students, to include pre-primary students as well, and two, the provision of breakfast. “The Department in its written submission also informed that a number of States have started providing breakfast to the students in the mid-day meal scheme. The Committee recommends that under the schemes all schools should start providing breakfast [for] the students in the next academic session as envisaged in NEP, 2020,” said the panel’s report, submitted to the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. “The Centre’s current expenditure on the scheme is about 11,000 crore for 11.8 crore students. We were hoping to start providing breakfast from April when the new session starts, but we estimate it will cost us another 4,000 crore.
