Women self-help groups in the city have opposed ₹1.45 per hike and are demanding a ₹15 per student increase in the meal scheme budget, citing the need to improve the quality and nutritional value of the meals provided under the nutritional food programme for kindergarten.
The members met municipal commissioner Rajendra Bhosale on Wednesday and presented their demands before him.
The members said, “The rate of inflation is high. We have not had a hike since 2012. It is our demand that instead of ₹1.45, the administration must give us ₹15 per student for preparing the food.”
Municipal commissioner Bhosale promised to look into the issue.
