Midday meals: how food meant for children is feeding private contractors
The midday meal scheme is falling prey to private contractors in the respective states, says a report prepared by the Supreme Court appointed food commissioners on the nutrition supplements for children in anganwadis across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Gujarat. The report, submitted to the Supreme Court on November 30, 2012 points out to a tendency among states to favour private contractors to supply supplementary nutrition under the scheme.
