Telangana launches breakfast scheme for Classes 1 to 10

The Telangana government on Friday launched a breakfast scheme for the government school students, reported The Indian Express.

The Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme aims to feed 23 lakh students from Class 1 to Class 10. The scheme, however, does not include schools run by panchayat raj institutions, reported the Hindustan Times.

Tamil Nadu implemented a similar scheme in September last year for students between Class 1 and Class 5. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had then sent a team led by an Indian Administrative Service officer to Tamil Nadu to study the implementation of the scheme in the state.
