Mid-Day Meal Scheme Cartoon Illustration - Awareness and Compliance #3333998 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts a caricatured adult figure-likely a school staff member or official-scooping steaming soup from a large pot into bowls, despite a prominent sign declaring “NO MID-DAY MEAL TEST.” Three barefoot children stand nearby, watching intently, suggesting urgency or need. The exaggerated expressions and chaotic scene underscore systemic neglect or procedural bypasses in government-sponsored school meal programs.

Used in articles, NGO campaigns, or policy discussions about India’s Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDMS), this image serves to critique irregularities, corruption, or lack of adherence to protocols. It targets educators, policymakers, and civil society seeking transparency and equity in school nutrition programs.
