Pratichi Trust - Prof Amartya Sen
MDM has been quite effective if seen as a
‘food security net’ for nutritionally deprived
children; it is one of the most potent school
based interventions; raised the enrollment
and attendance of children; an effective tool
in bringing social harmony; women
empowerment and addressing livelihood
issues.
Supreme Court Commissioners for MDMS
– The survey confirmed the belief that
the mid day meal scheme is one of the
better run schemes in most parts of the
country and is also very popular among
parents and children.
