APPRAISAL OF MID DAY MEAL PROGRAMME IN AMRAVATI AND NAGPUR DISTRICT.

Abstract

The school programmes were started in our country keeping in mind the social and economic advancement of the country. Urbanisation, Industrialisation and an increase in the number of working mothers frequently brought about longer school days. This mean, that children often did not receive proper meals at home and therefore needed to have a meal at school. Thus, a free compulsory primary education became more common and pressures were brought to bear on governmental authorities to provide school lunch.
