Ever weekday morning, I used to take the bus Kushmaha, twelve kilometres from the temple town of Deoghar in Jharkhand, and then hike two kilometres over a muddy, winding path. My journey used to end at at a small building that is the only hope children in the village have for an education—and a future.
Like other teachers, I’ve personally seen the Midday Meal Scheme succeed in convincing parents to send their children to school. Like other teachers, I’m anguished and angry to read of children dying because of the food they were given as part of that scheme. All concerned governments, departments, administration must wake up—because what has happened threatens the only chance children have.
