Awareness for school lunch programme

Children eating a meal as part of the school lunch programme at a classroom.
Children in their growing age has so much activities to participate and food plays important role to make every efforts possible in academic as well as in extra curriculum activities. The school lunch programme initiated by united state federal law  at the name of National school lunch programme in1946.
Nutrition standard for the National school lunch programme and National school breakfast program were updated in 2012 and signed by barack Obama.
In America, school consider to fulfill the nutritional requirements of students by providing them balanced diet in School and children get same kind of meal during lunch.Now In America they prepare meal accordingly to fulfill the needs of micronutrients because some basic micronutrients are necessary for children to maintain a good status of learning.
In India some anganwari in villages provide meal but that people not aware the importance of diet in child's life so you cnt watch the food they provide to kids. Government must arrange some awareness program for the village and some private schools to aware the parents and people for the importance of nutrition in child's life. Research shows that we are not giving our kids in School the same level of quality and safety as you get in many fast foods restaurants
