Telangana just rolled out a breakfast scheme for government school and junior college students, covering everyone from pre-primary up to 12th grade.
The main goal? Making sure students start their day with a healthy meal so they're ready to learn and feel their best.
Central kitchens to serve millet breakfasts
In the first phase, 1,302 schools and colleges in eight districts will get breakfast made in centralized kitchens.
The menu includes millet-based dishes like idlis and ragi jawa, plus favorites like dosa, puri, and bonda, served with milk or ragi jawa every day.
Minister Ponnam Prabhakar asked students to have breakfast and lunch at government educational institutions, saying nutritious food is being provided to keep students physically and psychologically healthy.
