Karnataka teachers seek cluster kitchens for midday meals

The Karnataka State Primary School Teachers' Association has sought cluster-level kitchen centres for the midday meal scheme, submitting a proposal to the school education department's principal secretary and the PM POSHAN director. Citing models run by Akshaya Patra and Adamya Chetana, it suggested that self-help groups and Stree Shakti Sanghas could operate the kitchens, easing the load on teachers.
