“National Programme of Nutritional Support for Primary Education” which is popularly known as the “Mid-Day Meal Scheme” was launched by the Government of India in 1995. The main objective of the MDMS is to attain the goal of universalization of primary education. 
        The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is being implemented as India's main programme for universalizing elementary education. Its overall goals include universal access and retention, bridging of gender and social category gaps in education and enhancement of learning levels of children. SSA provides for a variety of interventions, including inter alia, opening and construction of new schools, additional teachers, regular teacher in-service training, academic resource support to ensure free textbooks, uniforms and free support for improving learning outcomes.
