Rajdeep Criticises School Meal Decision

Journalist Rajdeep Sardesai criticised the reported decision of the West Bengal government to remove eggs from school mid-day meals and award a vegetarian meal contract to ISKCON. He said school meals should be guided by science and nutrition rather than politics or religious preferences.

Rajdeep compared the reported move with states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, which are expanding access to protein rich food for schoolchildren. His remarks have triggered a debate on social media, with critics expressing concern over children's nutrition while supporters have defended vegetarian meal programmes.
