The agitators said that it has been 24 years since the midday meal scheme was launched, a programme designed to provide nutritious meals to schoolchildren and encourage education.

However, the workers, who implement this critical scheme, continue to face challenges related to wages, workload, and job security, they alleged.

"Midday meal workers perform a range of duties, including preparing hot meals, distributing milk to children, cleaning school premises, and other daily tasks assigned by schools," said the agitators.
