'Junk food' prohibited in schools

 

Government has banned the provision of 'junk food' in all community schools across the country.

Education and Human Resource Development Center, Sanothimi, has published a booklet titled 'School Diary Management Assistance Booklet' on Monday.

Center has prepared 60 different types of 'menus' and made booklet public by giving priority to locally produced food.

Government has already sent 7 billion 729.33 million students to schools for lunch.

Under this, daily lunch will be provided free of cost to 2.94 million students from all over country. Government will provide lunch at the rate of Rs 20 per student per day in Karnali and Rs 15 per day in other areas.
