Abstract

The Mid-Day Meal (MDM) Scheme, introduced in India, is one of the largest and most significant educational initiatives aimed at addressing child malnutrition and promoting social equity in education. This research paper explores the role of the MDM scheme in promoting social equity by reducing disparities in school enrollment, attendance, and performance across different socio-economic groups. Through a review of empirical evidence and case studies, this paper highlights the impact of the MDM scheme in bridging the gap between disadvantaged and privileged groups, providing equal opportunities for education. The study also examines the challenges of implementation, the nutritional quality of the meals, and the broader societal benefits that extend beyond education.
