Nutrition experts, chefs on govt panel to draw up new menu for mid-day meals

For years now, schools have been serving khichdi under the midday meal scheme and the government wants to make the menu nutritious and tasty for children using local foodgrains, including millets..

The committee which will include experts from health, nutrition and education fields will study ways to enhance quality and nutrition of the food items served under the midday meal scheme, states the GR, which refers to instructions from the central government too asking states to look at possibilities of including local grains and other items in midday-meals..
