The Government of Tamil Nadu has been kind enough to provide noon meals for all the school children. But quite a number of college and post-matric students coming from interior villages living below the poverty line are deprived of this benefit. Hence they either drop out from the higher education institutions are extremely weak to concentrate on their studies. Hence we had initiated ‘Sarada Noon Meals Scheme’ in the year 2015-16 to provide free noon meals to selected poor students, whose parents annual income less Rs. 2 lakh from our 3 colleges (College of Arts and Science, College of Education and Maruthi College of Physical Education), 3 Post-Matric Institutions (Polytechnic, Industrial Training Institute and Diploma in Agricultural Education) and 4 faculties of the Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute – all situated in a single campus. Nearly 400 such students in these 8 institutions were benefited by this noon meal scheme every year.

Our Initiative:

We have carefully selected 400 deserving students who will benefit from the Free Mid-Day Meals scheme. Each meal costs $105 (Rs.8750) per student annually, and the total annual cost for this program is $41730. (Rs.35,00,000) This initiative is designed not only to nourish our students physically but also to support their academic growth and overall well-being.
