No Kitchen, Govt school in MP prepares midday meals in washroom
Madhya Pradesh Govt school prepares midday meals in washroom Midday meals in a government school in a village in Madhya Pradesh are being cooked in the school’s washroom, raising questions about the health and hygiene of students for the past few months. The primary school’s midday meal is being prepared in the old kitchen, whereas the middle school’s meal is being cooked in the washroom. The middle school has around 85 students. The midday meal is being prepared here by a village self-help group. Cook Shakila said she had flagged the issue but school authorities directed her to prepare the meals in the washroom. “I had cautioned them that it’s wrong but they did not listen to me,” she said. “I have complained about the matter to the contractor and my seniors but there has been no solution. For the time being, the midday meal is being prepared in the washroom," said Brajesh Patel, who is officiating as principal. Sub divisional magistrate (SDM) Hata Narayan Singh said he will send an inquiry team to the school and take action if the allegations were found to be true. -PTC News
