Schools in Bihar likely to have their own kitchen gardens soon
The Mid-Day Meal Directorate and the Unicef are working on a project under which vegetables will be grown in the useless lands of the schools to have the children eat fresh and nutritious food in their meals.
The scheme has been launched in 50 schools of Purnia district as a pilot project.
“Depending on its success, the project will be extended to other districts as well,” Harihar Praasd, director of the state's mid-day meal project told the media on Thursday.
According to him, the vegetables grown in the schools’ kitchen gardens will be served to the children during school lunch. This will also increase the nutritious value of the meal, he said.
