Poor children in rural areas often have to skip their breakfast, the first meal of the day, before leaving for school, which is considered one of the major factors for rising malnutrition. The children, starving for 12 to 16 hours after their last meal the previous night, find it difficult to focus on studies.
While their midday meal is taken care of by the government, there is no such scheme to provide breakfast to them. Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust aims to fill this gap by serving breakfast to 50,000 children studying in government schools in Greater Tirupati on all working days.
