Impressive

You have to wonder what the situation was like before this grand movement. I for one am filled with amazement, happiness and sorry, all at the same time.

my india - JAI HO

today i am so happy that my india has done something so good that it is hard to explain in words, i feel very emotional today. i always felt so helpless for not being able to help those disadvantaged kids on the street, now i can atleast have little peacefulness. For any developing country as it is for any other developed nations, is to build their future and for good future one needs healthy and educated youth. I hope this move will reap some benefits for India in the long run. JAI HO......

It would be good if all countries use this program for all the disadvantage people, we would solve some of the problems of people force to steal to feed their family

Western countries can't learn anything from India's initiative. It couldn't be done in a US-style Free Market economy because it would 'need' be corporatised and the maximisation of the bottom-line would quickly tend to take priority over the promised benefits to the children.

Thank you for the excellant programme, totally different to war, drug and disaster. Any country can can adopt the idea, mid-day meal food was thousand times better than the junk food sold in the school canteen.Feeding the kids with good food is the most sacred work. Thank you once again for showing such great documntary
