Each school day, students are provided with nutritious breakfasts comprising sprouted gram, green gram, or groundnuts along with milk. Lunch includes rice, pulses, and vegetables—ensuring a balanced diet that supports the physical and mental development of the students.

By providing daily nutritious meals, the program is helping students stay healthy, focused, and motivated to attend school regularly.

NBJK expresses its heartfelt gratitude to Feeding India and Zomato for their invaluable support in promoting child nutrition, health, and education in rural Jharkhand.
