Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN) Scheme earlier known as ‘National Programme for Mid-Day Meal in Schools’ is one of the foremost rights based centrally sponsored schemes. It covers all school children studying in Balvatika (just before class I) and Classes I-VIII in government and government-aided schools. The objectives of the PM POSHAN are to address two of the pressing problems for majority of children in India, viz., hunger and education by: improving the nutritional status of children studying in classes I – VIII in government and government-aided schools; encouraging poor children, belonging to disadvantaged sections, to attend school more regularly and help them concentrate on classroom activities; and providing nutritional support to children of elementary stage in drought / disaster affected areas during summer vacation.
