While expanding the provision of lunch program for schoolchildren, the amount of Rs.30 allocated per student has been increased to Rs.60 from August 1.
The Education Ministry Secretary said the amount allocated so far was insufficient, and the ministry than has decided to increase it.
The programme is currently conducted by the Health and Nutrition Division of the Education Ministry.
So far, 1.1 million schoolchildren in 7,920 schools are benefited through this plan, the ministry secretary said. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

A self sustaining project for rural areas where each family is given a biscuit oven, a poultry cage, day old chicks or a cow and some access to animal feed and then sell them to a community kitchen per school. Green leaf, vegetables. ICTA can write a community kitchen software and even area businesses can route poultry feed etc or money to the supplier families. Then sell the eggs, milk, buns, etc to the village school community kitchen. Samurdhi beneficiaries to be hired to boil eggs etc and pay them a allowance. Sathosa Sanasa Coop societies can be the delivery hubs for feed. Give a credit card from govt bank with a small Rs10,000 limit for each supplier - cash less society.

We can remember, when we had been provided with biscuits in the school days, many teachers had pocketed those biscuits to take their home secretly to feed their KIDS only. Will that sort of things happen here too?
