With the completion of training of cooks for Mid-Day-Meal scheme, due process for development of nutrition gardens within school campuses is now underway.
This year's main focus for Mid-Day-Meal scheme is training cooks, organising competition among cooks and development of nutrition gardens within school campuses, informed a source.
At the first stage, five cooks were selected from each block and they were imparted master training.
The cooks who had received master training then gave training to other cooks.

After competitions for cooks were held at district level, a State level competition for cooks selected from all the 16 districts of the State was held.
Under an instruction of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, school nutrition gardens are being developed across the country.
The work of development of school nutrition gardens has just begun in most States but in Manipur, vegetables/crops have been cultivated in over 1000 schools by developing school nutrition gardens.
Some selected schools where vegetables have been cultivated successfully have been granted Rs 5000 each, said the source.
As for schools which do not have space for kitchen gardens, vegetables may be cultivated in pots, cement bags etc, said the source.
As per the MHRD's instruction, training of cooks, competition for cooks and development of nutrition gardens should be completed within the month of December.
Development of nutrition gardens within school campuses helps a lot in explaining the close relationship shared between mankind and nature to students.
It would also help in serving balanced diet to school children apart from inculcating work culture among the children.
