Upon being failed by milk and chikki, the BMC has decided to go nuts to provide nutrition to municipal school students. The civic body has recently floated tenders for appointing a contractor to supply roasted chana and peanuts to its schools.

According to a senior civic official, "The contractor will be responsible for supplying chana and peanuts for the next two years. This move will benefit about 3.5 lakh students in over 1,100 BMC schools across the city. The idea is to give civic school students nutritious food." BMC is going to spend over Rs 20 crore for this scheme.
