The Goa government will bring changes in the mid-day meal scheme to incorporate measures like improving the menu for better nutrition and participation of parents in monitoring quality of food.
"We are introducing healthy eating habits for students by replacing bread with chapati. Fruit would be the part of the mid-day meal menu for students once a week," a senior official of the Education department said.
The scheme is benefiting over one lakh students in 1,500 schools in two districts of the state, the official said.
He said the state government was introducing new features in the scheme following a few incidents of food poisoning last year.
