Mid-day meals scheme

I feel Mid-day meal, as a policy, is decent and a result of logical thinking. But again it is suffering, or I can say that it has not been able to hit the bull's eye, ie, EDUCATION. For sure, it has been a way of luring rural poor kids to come in the expectation of food (and also their parents who would send their children thinking that it would solve their problem of providing at least a single meal) and in turn return with perhaps 'some' knowledge and education. The idea has been perfectly fine (not to mention the great debate on whether the parents send their kids just for the food or because of a genuine desire to get them educated).
But whether it has been able to produce significant results- that probably is doubtful. It surely involves flaws in implementation on part of govt, as the teachers who are supposed to teach have to play the role of all rounders, in the sense that they need to be concerned with all the purchases of food, maintaining infinite accounts, which may seem to be a cakewalk when one reads it on a sheet of paper, but in reality it is impossible for an individual to perform multi-tasking at such a level. It simply is like an exculpating catalyst that is present in all our govt schemes and the way they are carried out. It leads to more emphasis on the meals than education, as at the end of the day the teacher ends up doing everything but teaching and educating.
