Fine Rice Introduced in East Godavari School Midday Meals
Imagine you're at school, and it's lunchtime.
Instead of the usual rice, you now get a special kind called fine rice!
This change is happening in many schools in East Godavari.
The government wants to make the food better, so you can grow up healthy and come to school more often.
The fine rice is sent to schools, and people are making sure it gets there safely.
They are also asking students, parents, and teachers what they think, so they can make the meals even better!
Fine rice is now served in midday meals in East Godavari schools.
The initiative is part of the 'Dokka Seethamma Mid-Day Meal Scheme'.
The goal is to improve student health and attendance.
The scheme started on June 12 in various schools.
