The Chief Minister of Odisha, Mohan Charan Majhi, announced that the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) scheme will now include students in Classes IX and X.
This decision was made during the centenary celebrations of Ranihat High School.
The initiative aims to improve educational outcomes and provide nutritional support to high school students.
The decision follows the example of districts like Sundargarh and Jharsuguda, which have already implemented similar programs for high school students using their funds.
This expansion marks a significant step in supporting the education and well-being of high school students in Odisha.
