The State Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Monday inaugurated a breakfast scheme called “Kaalai Unavu Thittam”, which was jointly implemented by Greater Chennai Corporation and the Akshaya Patra Foundation, for school students in Tamil Nadu.
“Tamil Nadu has always been in the forefront of social welfare initiatives. It is, therefore, no wonder that this programme to provide breakfast to school children is being commenced in Tamil Nadu…,” Purohit said.
He added: “…I have no doubt that the school children will eagerly look forward to coming to school every morning for hot, delicious and nutritious breakfast cooked in the Akshaya Patra kitchens.”
In order to accomplish the mission ‘Poshit Bharat Shikshit Bharat'(Nourished India, Educated India), he sought volunteers, government, and stakeholders to join the mission and help accomplish it.
