४९ ह व्ह्यू · १.९ ह प्रतिक्रिया | In a viral video that's sparking outrage across India, a UP government school head teacher in Mahoba dilutes 1 liter of milk in a bucket water, serving it as "nourishment" to dozens of hungry children under the Mid-Day Meal scheme. This heartbreaking Mid-Day Meal scandal exposes deep-rooted corruption, child malnutrition hotspots in Bihar, UP, and MP, and over 93,000 school closures under the Modi government. From historical roots in 1925 Madras to recent Rs 2,000-crore scams, Rahul from The Rooster News unpacks why kids are getting "pani mein pani" instead of real nutrition – and what it means for India's future. Dive deep into the Mid-Day Meal crisis that's betraying millions of schoolchildren in India. In this eye-opening episode, Rahul from The Rooster News breaks down the viral Instagram reel from Mahoba district, Uttar Pradesh, where a primary school head teacher was suspended after mixing just one liter of milk into a massive bucket of water – passing off this watery mess as a vital source of nutrition for young students lining up hungrily. But this isn't just one bad apple. It's a symptom of systemic rot in the PM Poshan (formerly Mid-Day Meal) scheme, plagued by scams, ghost enrollments, and neglect. Discover how under the current regime, over 93,000 government schools have shuttered since 2014 – an 8% drop – forcing rural kids into longer commutes or dropouts, making proper meal delivery a logistical nightmare. States like Uttar Pradesh (40% child stunting), Bihar (42.9%), and Madhya Pradesh (42%) are malnutrition epicenters, with NFHS-5 data revealing 36% of under-5s stunted and 32% underweight. We trace the noble origins: From colonial-era experiments in 1925 Chennai to K. Kamaraj's statewide push in Tamil Nadu in 1963, and the national rollout in 1995. Yet, today? Brazen frauds like the Rs 11-crore Balrampur ghost student scam (2025), Rajasthan's Rs 2,000-crore inflated bills during COVID, and Punjab's 2,500 fake enrollments highlight impunity. Why minimal repercussions for teachers and staff? Underfunded inspections, political patronage, and rare convictions let billions leak from the Rs 11,000-crore annual budget. Relive past horrors too: Mirzapur's roti-with-salt meals (2019), Sitapur's turmeric-tinted watery rice mimicking dal, and Sonbhadra's diluted milk for 81 kids. These aren't isolated – they're patterns of corner-cutting in BJP-ruled states, where 65,000+ schools closed under "rationalization." As India eyes superpower status, can we afford to water down our children's futures? Rahul calls for mandatory CCTV in kitchens, third-party audits, and zero-tolerance prosecutions. This is more than a scandal – it's a call for systemic justice. What do you think – is the Mid-Day Meal scheme salvageable? Share your stories in the comments below!
