My name is Sushant. I am calling from Paikmal block of Bargarh district in Odisha. I had recorded a message on Swara on 13th January saying that children in all the schools in my area were not getting mid-day meal from months. I got calls from many after the report and though it is less than a week the mid day meal has started in many schools. Officials have promised the same in rest of the schools soon.
