Abstract
The free school meal programme in several parts of India is one of the measures to combat malnutrition among school going children. Schools which discharge the responsibility of assuring the nutritional quality of the noon meal, perform an important national service. The aim of the school meal should be to offer a nutritionally adequate lunch that provides at least one third of the daily nutritional requirement for the entire day at a minimum cost.
