Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Thursday announced that the Telangana government will launch the ‘Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme’ for schoolchildren in government schools starting from the 2026-27 academic year, drawing inspiration from Tamil Nadu’s pioneering initiative.
While attending an event organised by the Tamil Nadu government to showcase its achievements in education, nutrition, and welfare, which was attended by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Revanth Reddy praised Tamil Nadu’s achievements in
education, nutrition, and sports, highlighting its decades-old model of school meals.
He said the state’s initiatives, including free breakfasts, scholarships for both girls and boys, and skill development programmes, were worthy of replication across the country.
Congratulating Stalin for implementing progressive welfare schemes, Revanth Reddy emphasised that such initiatives not only recognised student achievers but also honoured the contributions of teachers and NGOs in improving learning outcomes.
