1130 Students of NBJK-Run Schools to Receive Free Breakfast and Lunch

18 November 2024, Chouparan (Hazaribagh): Nav Bharat Jagriti Kendra (NBJK) has extended its Feeding India: A Zomato Giveback program to three additional schools in the Chouparan block of Hazaribagh district. The initiative, previously implemented only at Amoli Apurva Middle School, Bahera, will now benefit students at:

1. Amoli Apurva Primary School, Prajapat Nagar
2. Amoli Apurva High School, Mangarh
3. Chandrakala Devi Daga High School, Kewalia

This expansion will ensure nutritious meals for 1130 students, including 565 girls, across four schools. The meals include:

• Breakfast: Sprouted gram, green gram, and milk
• Lunch: Rice, pulses, and vegetables

The initiative targets children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with around 25% of students (80% of them girls) availing freeships. NBJK also provides an affordable fee structure to make quality education accessible to rural children.

Parents have expressed relief as their children, particularly daughters, now receive wholesome meals at school. This initiative not only addresses nutrition but also encourages regular school attendance.

NBJK extends its heartfelt gratitude to Feeding India: A Zomato Giveback for their invaluable support in fostering child-friendly, inclusive education environments.
