Welcome

This decision is welcome. We have already arranged healthy food and breakfast for children in our school canteen. If fat-rich foods are not available outside schools, then the children will automatically get away from it. In addition, the school will remain committed to providing healthy and nutritious food to children.

Alka Sharma, Director, CPS

Outside schools and similar good things should be found in schools for similar nutritional and health. Juices and shake should also be mixed with fruits. Also, children will have to arouse interest in traditional food. We also provide the same food to the children in our school and hostel, which they like more than other food items.
