Bengal School Resumes Mid-Day Meals After Three-Day Suspension Due to Fund Delay
The mid-day meal program at Boral Swamiji Vidyapith in Garia, South 24 Parganas, resumed after a three-day suspension caused by delayed funds. The school, serving 200-250 students, had not received payments for nearly three months, leading to unpaid dues with local suppliers and a temporary halt in meals. Officials cited technical issues with the funding portal and are working to resolve the delay. School authorities had repeatedly sought help from civic bodies before the program restarted with meals like khichdi and egg curry.
