How The School Breakfast Plan Works
Representatives from the Hare Krishna Foundation met the Chief Minister at his Jubilee Hills residence on Friday. Two private companies have stepped forward to support this breakfast initiative for government school students. Junna Solar Systems Private Limited and Chain Labs India Private Limited signed an agreement with the Hare Krishna Foundation in the presence of the Chief Minister.

He explained that the main goal of this breakfast scheme is to provide nutritious meals to the children and encourage them to attend school regularly. The Chief Minister also advised the officials to maintain a track record of government school students. This step will help teachers monitor the physical growth and academic progress of the children regularly. He also suggested developing an app to measure the calories in the food served to the students.
What Is On The Breakfast Menu?
The Chief Minister checked the breakfast menu details with the officials. He advised them to prepare the breakfast according to local food habits. The administration must take maximum precautions because this school breakfast project is a long-term program.
