BENGALURU: With eggs in midday meal menu of eight aspirational districts in Kalyana Karnataka improving nutritional levels of students, children in the entire state are likely to get the benefit.
The additional chief secretary of the finance department has agreed to extend the Union government's pilot to all districts of the state for the time being to give eggs or chikkis to students of Grade 1 to 8 for 46 days. The programme in the eight districts was being funded by both the Centre and the state, but as per a senior official, if it's rolled out in other districts, the state alone will bear the expenses.
