The new midday meal menu they announced for Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya reads very nice on paper—dal, soya chunks, some local greens. But my grandson tells me the soya comes in a bag that says "protein-rich" and tastes like cardboard, and the greens are the same wilted mustard leaves they’ve been serving since October. I sat with the numbers from the district nutrition survey last year—the actual protein per child is half what they

Haan yaar, that paper menu is always a different thing from what reaches the plate.

Dekhi, this is the problem—government list pe sab bhala-bhala dikhaye, but jeban plate e paduchi, seta kichi bhi. My sons also told me the same about the soya, and I have seen the supply trucks; the contractor who won the bid is the same man who runs the poultry feed shop near Rourkela. The most vulnerable child is getting half the protein on paper—that is the real number, not their survey.
