Breakfast scheme in all aided schools in Tamil Nadu

CHENNAI: The state government is set to expand the Chief Minister’s breakfast scheme to government-aided schools in urban areas in the state. With this, all government and government-aided schools will be covered under the scheme.

According to officials in the school education department, the expansion will be rolled out on July 15, marking the birth anniversary of former chief minister K Kamaraj, which is also celebrated as Educational Development Day.

The elementary education directorate has sent a list of 1,416 schools, almost all of which are government-aided schools in urban areas to the district officials.

They have been asked to check if any school has been left out from this list and send a report to the directorate to facilitate the implementation of the scheme.
