The midday meal scheme has resumed at the Government Adi Dravidar Primary School in Jagir Thandalam near Nemili in Ranipet district, with meals being cooked on the school premises and served to students after a gap of 12 years.

The school, which caters to Classes I to V, had only six students about 12 years ago. Owing to the low enrolment, the midday meal centre functioning on the premises was discontinued. Since then, meals for the students were prepared at a nearby Panchayat Union Primary School and brought to the Adi Dravidar Welfare School.

As a result, students often received their meals late.

Over the years, student enrolment at the school gradually increased. According to government norms, a cook can be appointed to operate a midday meal centre if the school has at least 25 students.

There are 26 students enrolled at the school in the current academic year. Following requests from parents to revive the midday meal centre in the interest of the students, Nemili Block Development Officer Selva Vinayagam ordered that a cook from another school be given additional responsibility for preparing meals on the premises.

Consequently, midday meals are now being cooked and served at the school itself, bringing relief and happiness to students and their parents.

However, parents expect the authorities to appoint a permanent cook and an assistant to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the midday meal centre.
