The state government has broadened the Kamaraj Breakfast Scheme to serve students in classes six to eight, aiming to improve nutrition and attendance.
The Tamil Nadu government has announced an expansion of the Kamaraj Breakfast Scheme, extending its reach to students in classes six to eight. Previously the program catered only to primary school children up to class five.
The breakfast initiative will provide a nutritious meal to a larger cohort of students in government schools across the state, with the objective of enhancing overall health and learning outcomes.
Educational experts have highlighted the link between regular breakfast consumption and improved concentration, attendance and academic performance, and the expansion is expected to reinforce these benefits.
Implementation will begin with the upcoming academic year, with the state’s education department allocating the necessary resources to support the broader rollout.
