The Odisha government has announced a significant expansion of the Mukhyamantri Poshan Yojana (MMPY), now extending the mid-day meal program to include students in classes 9 and 10 across all government schools. This strategic initiative aims to ensure better nutritional intake for adolescents during a critical stage of their physical and academic development.
By providing healthy, supplementary meals, the state aims to reduce dropout rates, enhance student concentration, and support the overall well-being of the youth. This inclusive policy reflects the government’s commitment to prioritizing student health, food security, and academic success for all learners in the state.
