Free Mid-day Meals

Title of the Practice: Free Mid-day Meals
Objectives of the Practice: A Mid-day meal is provided by the local temple authority "Srikalahastheswara Devasthanam" to the nonresident students, who come from near-by villages. It is really boon to the poor students.
The Context This practice helps the students hailing from far flung villages to attend the college located in town. As the college runs from 10 A.M to 5 P.M. and students have to stay on the campus till the closing time. Students who come from distant places by local transport have felt inconvenient to bring lunch since they have to start very early from their places. Hence, the institution therefore launched Mid-day Meal Program with the charitable and philanthropic cooperation of the Srikalahastiswara Devasthanam. On all the working days, they supply food regularly. It is not only a benefit for the students but a reputation to the institution. In addition to regular lunch, bananas and eggs are also provided weekly once or twice.
The Practice This practice is another laudable part of the Institution because it enables the students to attend the college regularly and focus more on classroom activities to enhance their knowledge and skills. Students who belong to economically disadvantaged sections are drawn towards the academic milieu through this scheme.
Evidence of Success The program accounts for grand success. It has promoted in boosting the enrollment and attendance also has brought down the drop rate.
