The Karnataka government has extended midday meals for the summer holidays too in the 223 drought-hit taluks as a relief measure. But the decision to offer meals only in nodal schools has left the students unhappy.
In many instances, these schools are located 1 or 2 km away from where they live and they say that the trek in the hot sun is not easy. So they are demanding that food is provided in the schools they regularly go to, located closer to their homes.
