The scheme was launched in 1995 with the goal of improving child nutrition and increasing school attendance.<\/p>\n<p>The MDMS has been shown to be effective in achieving both of these goals. A study by the World Bank found that the scheme has led to a significant increase in the number of children attending school, particularly girls. The study also found that the scheme has improved the nutritional status of children, as measured by their height and weight.<\/p>\n<p>The MDMS is a valuable program that has made a significant impact on the lives of millions of children in India. It is a model for other countries that are looking to improve child nutrition and education.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some additional details about each of the options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improving child nutrition:<\/strong> The MDMS provides a nutritious meal to children every <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n         <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> day, which can help to improve their overall health and well-being. The meals are also designed to be culturally appropriate and to meet the nutritional needs of children.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increasing school attendance:<\/strong> The MDMS can help to increase school attendance by providing a free meal that children can rely on. This can be especially helpful for children from low-income families who may not have enough food at home. The MDMS can also help to reduce absenteeism due to illness, as children who are well-nourished are less likely to get sick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reducing food insecurity:<\/strong> The MDMS can help to reduce food insecurity by providing a regular source of food for children. This can be especially helpful for children from low-income families who may not have enough food at home. The MDMS can also help to improve the nutritional status of children, as they are more likely to eat a balanced diet when they receive a free meal at school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on
