Over the past couple of days, a significant disruption has occurred in state-run schools across Telangana, as millions of students were left without mid-day meals. This unfortunate situation arose due to a strike led by 54,000 Mid-Day Meal (MDM) workers who are demanding higher wages and the immediate release of pending bills. In this blog post, we delve into the impact of the strike and the underlying issues that have intensified the workers' demands.

Mid-Day Meals play a crucial role in providing essential nutrition to millions of students across Telangana. These meals not only help address hunger but also contribute to the overall health, well-being, and educational outcomes of children. The program has been instrumental in ensuring that students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, have access to at least one nutritious meal each day.
