The Tamil Nadu government has decided to distribute 10 eggs every month to school students under the noon meal scheme.
The State Social Welfare and Nutrition Programme Minister, Dr V Saroja announced this at a function in Rasipuram, Namakkal district today. She said that the eggs, as part of nutrition enhancement measures, will be implemented from the current month itself.
Since schools have not reopened in the State the raw materials for preparing nutrition rich food are being distributed among students in the form of user friendly kits.
Dr Saroja also reviewed the various social welfare schemes – especially those related to the safety and empowerment of the girl child – in separate meetings held at Rasipuram and Namakkal.
