The Midday meal scheme (under the Ministry of Education) is a centrally sponsored scheme which was launched in 1995. It is the world’s largest school meal programme aimed to attain the goal of universalization of primary education. Provides cooked meals to every child within the age group of six to fourteen years studying in classes I to VIII who enrolls and attends the school. In 2021, it was renamed as 'Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman' scheme (PM Poshan Scheme) and it also covers students of balvatikas (children in the 3–5-year age group) from pre-primary classes.
