For a programme so vital to the health of India's children, the death of 22 children in Chapra is a nightmare that has come to life. It is unfortunate that it takes a heart-wrenching tragedy to wake up India's middle classes to the situation faced by the poor on a daily basis. Can this calamity shake us up enough to ensure that our future generations live a healthy life? The midday meal (MDM) is an irreplaceable and crucial programme with the potential to provide food and nutrition inputs to most deserving and vulnerable sections of our population. This disaster was certainly avoidable, and accountability must be fixed. But we cannot allow this to descend into a cynical political blamegame. Over 10 crore of our children need this meal in more ways than we can imagine. We owe it to them to act together, and immediately transform this programme into something that truly delivers and is regularly discussed for all the right reasons.
मध्यान्ह भोजन योजना को बचाईये
सचिन कुमार जैन
बिहार कई कारणों से भारतीय जीवन में
महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता रहा है. इस बार एक दुखद रूप में बिहार एक ऐसी योजना पर
बहस का कारण बना, जिस पर देश आम तौर पर बहस करना छोटा काम समझता रहा है. बिहार के
सारण जिले धरमासती गंडामन
गांव के नवसृजित प्राथमिक विधालय में मध्यान्ह भोजन योजना के तहत दिए गए भोजन में जहर मिला होने के कारण
२७ बच्चों की मृत्यु हो गयी और शायद जब आप यह आलेख पढ़ रहे होंगे तब तक इस संख्या
में कुछ बढौतरी होने की आशंका भी है. अखबारों, टी वी चैनलों और संवाद के हर मंच
पर मध्यान्ह भोजन योजना के बारे में जो
चर्चा हो रही है, वह मुझे एक खतरनाक दिशा में जाती हुई लग रही है.
