💨 Abstract

India's two-year food inflation surge is affecting government-funded school meals for impoverished children, as schools cut back on key ingredients due to rising prices of vegetables, fruits, and pulses. The mid-day meal program, aimed at attracting poor children to school and providing basic nutrition, has not increased its budget for two years, despite soaring food prices.
