Over 900 students from nine schools in Sattari were deprived of mid-day meals on Tuesday and Wednesday, while about 500 of them were not served mid-day meals on Thursday, after authorities on Monday had ordered the Bhumika Self Help Group (SHG) to stop supplying the meals to the nine schools.
The 500 affected students are studying in four schools at Morlem and one school in Poriem. >> See pg 5
Under pressure to provide some food to the 500 students, two other SHGs could only distribute biscuits, instead of cooked food, to the affected students.
Efforts are underway to provide cooked meals to the five schools by Saturday, an official from the Valpoi education office told The Goan.
