New Delhi: Oats cookies, fruit, kheer, and sambar rice will soon become part of the mid-day meals served to children in MCD schools, with the civic body planning a more varied menu across its nearly 1,500 schools from November, officials said on Wednesday.
They added that the new agencies that will run its school kitchens have been asked to add at least one "special" item to the regular meal every day to make nutritious food more appealing to children. Oatcakes and cookies are among the options being considered, apart from fruit and kheer, officials at the civic body said.
