‘Inadequate noon meal provided in govt school’
TNN | Feb 14, 2019, 00:33 ISTTirupur: Education district officer Chithra on Thursday inspected the Perumanallur Government Girls Higher Secondary School after parents complained that steps were not taken to provide adequate noon meal to the students.
The school building, on the Perumanallur-Tirupur Road, was abandoned for more than 15 years. It was renovated with the support of local residents in December. As many as 254 girls, between class VI and XII, were transferred from the Perumanallur Government Higher Secondary School on Kakkampalayam Road and were enrolled in the newly-started school.
Though more than 150 students had registered for the noon meal scheme, the authorities provide inadequate food, which was enough only for 40 students, the parents alleged. “Food is cooked and taken from the Perumanallur Government Higher Secondary School daily, but it is not adequate for all of them. It is not brought on time,” a parent said.
“While the students were in the old school, they were getting proper food. But now, they are deprived,” said K Kathiresh, a parent. TNN
