“School is the center of education.” We all are agreeing with this statement but now the concept of education is not limited to just provide education only but also filling the empty stomach. An empty stomach makes a noise which becomes the hurdle in the teaching learning process. Hence, the government has launched the programme of mid-day-meal in the schools. The mid-day meal programme launched by the Government of India focuses for the dual purpose of achieving the 100% literacy as well elimination of mal-nutrition among the children from classes I to VIII in the Elementary Government Schools. The findings of the researches reflects that implementation of the MDM is really worth worthy act by the Government in the field of education.
