People for God sake don't get caught to these hood winking things. this shows, that RW badly needs his votes, just imagine from a whole lot of children, only 1.4 million children are given to eat the mid-day meal.

Don’t think you can harness votes by these political gimmicks. People know that you are the main culprit to create this situation.

Eligiblity for meal should based on parents tax card. Otherwise this will be another alms giving at groceries road. We should take care the needy children in country than playing the wild card. Most of the popular rich schools have over capacity but at poor peoples schools have only few kids.

Children should wash their hands and eat with their hands. Why introduce Western habit of using spoons and forks?

What about the rural villages who even don't even have a decent lavatory or proper roof above the classrooms. Our leader should be visiting those schools at first.

This meal is being given with a big bang but after a few months when the suppliers are not paid that will be the end of the subject.

Not a wise solution Monday, 25 March 2024 11:58 PM

What else is going to be free in this country? Hotel charge after honeymoon? Children are a liability of parents. Feeding them is their job. Giving everything free is not the solution to the prevailing economic downturn. Encourage people to work hard instead of depending on the government.

I experienced a program of giving breakfast to kids whose parents had no time to give them one for what ever reason ..it was so discreet at the tuck shop ..Giving free school meals happens in the first world too , yes even in US ..its part of the school program to nurture the students for a academic program ..Wonder why the publicity ?

This is a really good thing (leaving aside my dislike for politicians). Hope its done for children in the rural areas aswell. Which will hopefully motivate parents to send the kids to school even on difficult times...

food distribution in school means problem in homes for foods, which should be provided by parents. Ruling Thief's robbed parents' ability to treat their own children. Now robbers pretend that their sympathy towards next generation in aim of remain in power.

This is just hoodwink the masses,totally a political gimmick,by the cunning master. Why not visit the schools in the rural areas,the children are Starving, no proper toilets ,broken roads,and lack in many ways. Stop cheating the masses old man.

just show off. While millions of people suffer from the economic hardship created by politicians. This is a good initiative if this is done nationwide. But this will be off soon after the election. we do not have a national policy. Next government will come and change it.
