"Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin attended an event in a Corporation School
at Chennai. When he was interacting with some of the children, he saw that some
of them were tired and weary. He asked them with motherly concern, why is it
so? He was shocked to hear that many of the students do not eat in the morning
and attend the school in hunger. After consulting officials, he ordered that
the Breakfast Scheme should be implemented immediately. That's how, this
flagship Breakfast Scheme came into being in no time. Even though initiatives
for this have been taken in different periods earlier, it took shape only
during the rule of Chief Minister MK Stalin.
The Chief Minister stated that the Breakfast Scheme is being implemented to
feed the children who come to school hungry. He reiterated that no one should
think this scheme as free or charity and this is the duty and responsibility of
a government and directed the teachers, officials and staff to provide food
with more caring and kindness. “Dear students, we are serving you breakfast and
lunch. Study without worrying about anything and concentrate only on your
studies. Don't give up education under any circumstances for any reason,” the
Chief Minister stated.
This is the state where Ramalinga Vallalar lived and quoted that “I withered
whenever I saw withered crop”.
In Tamil Nadu even an individual won’t tolerate people suffering from hunger,
how could the Government or Chief Minister do so. After deep thinking,
mid-day-meal scheme was formulated to eradicate hunger among the children,
which created a revolution in Tamil Nadu. The Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme
which is being implemented now by Tamil Nadu Government is an extension of the
Mid-day-meal scheme. The Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme is a pioneer scheme
in India and a model for others to emulate."
