The Andhra Pradesh government extended the Ragi Java nutrition programme for government school students until April 2029 through an agreement signed with the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust. The programme provides a daily nutritious drink made from ragi flour and jaggery, both supplied free of cost by the trust. It currently benefits more than 30 lakh students studying in nearly 44,000 government schools across the state. The initiative aims to improve children’s health, energy levels, attentiveness in classrooms, and school attendance. The Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, founded in 1972, has been actively supporting welfare and educational initiatives in Andhra Pradesh.
