Stardization in Menus and Scale of Ration in Navodayas is a Welcome Step

It was an area which was left to the Principal's discretion so far. Samiti used to fix an amount as  yearly expenditure per student for provision of food and  left every thing else to the Principals. In the absence of standards, the provision of food largely depended on the whims and fancies of the Principal and the staff of the Vidyalayas. You can read about the stance taken by this blog regarding such whimsical way of provision of food in a previous post published on word press: "Do We Care About the Students' Physical Growth?". 

Now things seem to be moving in right direction. There has been regular enhancement of food expenditure and  such enhancement seems to be inflation linked and rational.  Samiti came out with a scale of ration and suggested menu. It's going to bring about a reasonable change in the way our children are going to eat and  in turn in their growth and development. Kudos!!
