Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Telangana launched a state-wide breakfast scheme on June 15, 2026, benefiting students from pre-primary classes up to Class 12 in government schools and junior colleges. The first phase was implemented in 1,302 institutions, including 33 junior colleges, across eight districts through a centralised kitchen model. The scheme is being executed by the Hare Krishna Movement Charitable Trust and Manna Trust. To improve nutrition among students, the menu includes millet-based foods such as millet idli, millet upma, pongal, and ragi jawa, along with other breakfast items. Telangana also became the first state in India to extend a breakfast scheme to students up to Class 12, expanding beyond the coverage seen in most other states.
