PM POSHAN, formerly known as the Midday Meal Scheme, is a flagship initiative by the Government of India to improve child nutrition. It covers over 11 crore schoolchildren and ensures hot, cooked meals in government and aided schools. PM POSHAN contributes to better attendance, learning outcomes, and social equity. The scheme also involves local farmers, women’s self-help groups, and decentralized kitchens. PM POSHAN addresses micronutrient deficiencies and aims to promote food diversity among schoolchildren. With transparent monitoring and community participation, PM POSHAN plays a vital role in India’s educational and nutritional framework.
