Students in BMC schools may soon enjoy more delicious and nutritious midday meals. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation education committee has put forward its proposal to award a contract for serving mid-day meals exclusively to the ISKCON Food Relief Foundation (IFRF), taking into consideration the quality of the food they serve to some BMC schools at present.

According to the chairman of the education committee Vithal Kharatmol, the IFRF authorities approached them with the proposal to serve mid-day meals to as many schools as they can. The Midday Meal Scheme of the Government of India is being implemented by IFRF under the name Annamrita. The proposal was discussed in the standing committee meeting last week and is awaiting the approval of the government.
