Earlier, when the program was not started, there were some children who used to go to their homes to have lunch since the working parents were not able to serve them food timely. There were some children belonging to the extremely poor families were not able to secure proper meal till the school time and many times have to attend the school/center with empty stomach, consequently less interest in their studies and poor health status as well. Now, the children are able to feed themselves with cooked & nutritive meal. Now they take interest in learning and focus on their studies. At present there are total 214 number of children/beneficiaries are enrolled under DFP and getting the benefit of cooked meal.
