The Indian government is considering suggestions from several states and Union Territories to expand the PM-POSHAN (midday meal) scheme. Key proposals include adding breakfast to the scheme and extending it beyond Class 8, potentially up to Class 12. These deliberations are part of preparations for the scheme's continuation beyond 2025-26, with the Ministry of Education preparing a note for the expenditure finance committee. States have requested these changes to ensure continued nutritional support for students transitioning to higher classes.
