No decision yet on increasing egg funds for midday meals in Karnataka

No decision has been made to increase funds for eggs in midday meals in Karnataka.

The department of school education (midday meals) said the file remains with the government, which raised queries that have been answered.

The government provides Rs 5 per egg and Re 1 for logistics, but the retail price has exceeded Rs 8.

Schools across Karnataka have urged the government to increase the egg allocation.

Prakash Nittali, director of midday meals, confirmed no decision has been taken yet.
