Free breakfast for govt schoolkids proposed: Bhatti

Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka stated that if the financial situation becomes favourable, the entire Cabinet, along with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, is seriously considering providing free breakfast to students in government schools.

He was speaking as the chief guest at a public meeting organised on Friday to mark the completion of 150 years of the Mogiligidda High School in Mogiligidda village, Ranga Reddy district.

Bhatti Vikramarka explained that the breakfast scheme has already been launched as a pilot project in Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s constituency. He said the government’s resolve is strong, and if financial conditions permit and resources are mobilised, the free breakfast scheme will definitely be implemented in all government schools. Keeping in mind that children in their growing years are unable to develop fully due to lack of proper nutrition, the government is seriously deliberating in this direction.

The Deputy Chief Minister emphasised that only through a common school system can society grow like a united family.

When children grow up studying together from a young age, a sense of togetherness develops, fostering a constructive mindset where there is no discrimination based on caste, religion, rich or poor.

With this vision, the government is constructing Young India Integrated Residential Schools.
