A direction of the Education Department on Tuesday, asking all District Education Officers (DEOs) to ensure delivery of the mid-day meal ration to children at their homes has left the teachers fuming.
With the lockdown in place, the mid-day meal hasn’t been cooked on school premises since April 1. The government and aided schools have been asked to ensure the supply of two-month ration (April and May) to all children of classes I to VIII at their homes. Besides, the schools have been asked to deposit the money to cover cooking costs in the bank accounts of students or their parents.
