Students to get millet-based food in mid-day meal in Chhattisgarh

The Chhattisgarh government will serve millet-based food products four days a week in place of 'soya chikki' to school children under the mid-day meal scheme in 12 districts. CM Bhupesh Baghel said he had written a letter to the Centre proposing the inclusion of millets in mid-day meal scheme. Farmers are being encouraged to cultivate millets, an official said.
