The mid-day meal scheme faces various challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, lack of trained staff, and inconsistent funding. Implementation issues arise from regional disparities, where some areas may lack the necessary facilities for food preparation and storage. There are also concerns regarding the quality of food, which can affect student health and nutrition. Additionally, ensuring effective community participation and outreach is crucial for the scheme's success. Monitoring and evaluation processes can be insufficient, leading to implementation gaps and failures in achieving the intended educational objectives associated with providing meals.
