Chicken Biryani in Mid-Day Meals… Tamil Nadu’s New Plan

The Tamil Nadu government is exploring a new proposal aimed at improving student nutrition and increasing attendance in government schools. As part of efforts to enhance the Mid-Day Meal scheme, officials are studying the feasibility of serving chicken biryani once a week. If implemented, this initiative is expected to provide both a nutritious and appealing meal to students, potentially addressing dietary deficiencies.

Officials believe that introducing a popular dish like chicken biryani could attract more students to government schools and improve attendance rates. The proposal is currently under detailed review, and a final decision is expected to be taken soon. The move is being seen as an innovative step to strengthen public education through better nutrition and engagement.
