Andhra to Procure Organic Produce for School Meals

The government of Andhra Pradesh is planning to buy vegetables, rice, and other essential items directly from farmers who grow organic food.

These items will be used in central kitchens that prepare snacks and meals for government schools and junior colleges.

The Chief Minister, A. Revanth Reddy, talked about this plan in a meeting with leaders from the Hare Krishna Movement Charitable Foundation and two pharmaceutical companies, Aurobindo Pharma and Divi’s Laboratories.

The companies gave money from their corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds to support a breakfast scheme in government schools.

The government is also working to give farmers good quality seeds to help them grow different crops and make more money.

The Chief Minister praised the companies for their contributions and emphasized the importance of providing healthy meals to students.
