"mid-day-meal-scheme"

Mid-day meal workers across Telangana will begin a two-day hunger strike from August 6, demanding payment of long-pending bills, salary arrears up to July 2025, and a monthly salary increase to Rs. 10,000.

A total of 25,26,907 students from Classes I to X in 28,606 schools are covered under the Mid-Day meal scheme

Around 100 students at a government school in Bihar's Araria district fell sick after consuming a mid-day meal

Telangana is perhaps the only State, which is extending the scheme to 4.27 lakh students of ninth and tenth standards through its own revenues.

One cook-cum-helper can be engaged in a school having up to 25 students
