Hey there, Pune peeps! Big news coming your way – the Maharashtra State Government is stepping up its game when it comes to providing nutritious meals to students. As part of the Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman Yojana, 15 new recipes have been introduced for students in the upcoming academic year. Say goodbye to boring old khichdi and hello to dishes like vegetable pulao, nachani satva, and egg pulao.
But wait, there’s more! The government is making sure that students from 1st to 8th grade are getting the right amount of calories and protein with these new meals. From 1st to 5th grade, students will receive 450 calories and 12 grams of protein, while those in 6th to 8th grade will get 700 calories and 20 grams of protein. And get this – the Central Government is even subsidizing rice for the students. How cool is that?
To make sure these meals are top-notch, a Culinary Reform Committee has been set up to include locally available grains, cereals, and other foods in the recipes. And guess what? Vegetables and fruits grown in school gardens will be added to the mix too. Talk about fresh and healthy!
The best part? Students will now be treated to a three-course meal with rice, pulses, and more. Think vegetable pulao, egg pulao, masala rice, and even sweet khichdi. These meals will be provided once daily for twelve days, and the quantities of ingredients will be adjusted based on local conditions and student preferences.
So, get ready to dig into some delicious and nutritious meals, Pune students! It’s time to say goodbye to boring lunches and hello to exciting new dishes. Cheers to good food and good health!
