The MDM scheme started by the Government of India under the umbrella of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan has been developed to tackle classroom hunger, one of the major concerns plaguing our society.
Starting with 1,500 students in 2000, the midday meal scheme run by the non-profit has evolved to become the world’s largest. It now aims to increase its reach to five million students by 2020.
The Mid-Day Meal scheme, by drawing more children to be its beneficiary, is a significant move toward strengthening the social indicators of the country.
