The YCP government will continue the midday meal scheme under the new name YSR Akshaya Patra. CM Jaganmohan Reddy has decided to involve the Akshaya Patra Foundation in the scheme implementation. Linked to the ISKCON, the foundation organisers will prepare food under the scheme.

Jagan asked the officials to streamline the scheme in which the midday meal workers will be involved in serving the food only and they need not prepare food any longer. Their honorarium payments will be increased from Rs 1,000 to Rs 3,000.

Jagan instructed the officials to take all steps for ensuring the best facilities in the schools so as to improve attendance and enrollment.
