West Bengal Reverses Decision to Deploy Akshaya Patra for Mid-Day Meals in 3 Weeks

The West Bengal government has reversed its decision to involve the Akshaya Patra Foundation in providing mid-day meals at government-run schools in Kolkata. The foundation had been assigned the mid-day meal service as a pilot program in the city. The original plan was to expand the initiative across other districts if the pilot proved successful. However, the government made a U-turn on this decision within just three weeks of the assignment.
