A pilot project for mid-day meals and coupons has been inaugurated for students at Shantinagar Government Primary School, the only selected institution in the Rangpur division, located in Birampur, Dinajpur. The opening ceremony was held on Sunday morning, presided over by District Primary Education Officer Saifuzzaman, with Birampur Upazila Nirbahi Officer and Municipal Administrator Mst. Tanjina Khatun attending as the chief guest.
Among eight primary schools across the eight divisions of the country, Shantinagar Government Primary School in Birampur was chosen for this pilot initiative. Under this project, alongside regular eggs and bananas, child students can now submit coupons at designated shops to collect their preferred foods including bun bread, raisins, nuts, dry cake, dates, and biscuits.
Students from 116 government primary schools in Birampur upazila are covered under the mid-day meal project. This initiative was launched to bring variety to the conventional identical meals by offering eight types of food items based on children's preferences. Parents expect that children will become more interested in these diverse meals valued at 35 Taka daily and that school attendance will increase.
