On June 1, Udupi MLA Yashpal Suvarna urged Chief Minister Shivakumar to address the discrepancy in egg distribution to government school students. The issue arose due to the increased price of eggs, which are provided daily to students. Eggs are a vital source of protein and nutrients for children's physical and mental development. The state government allocates Rs.6 per egg for schools, but the market price has surged, with head teachers now charging Rs.10 per egg. This has created financial difficulties in distributing eggs to students, posing a threat to the nutritious food supply. MLA Yashpal Suvarna appealed to the Chief Minister to take immediate action, ensuring the government can continue providing eggs at the market price, thus supporting the overall development of government school students.
The egg distribution program is a commendable initiative, and MLA Yashpal Suvarna's appeal seeks to resolve the current challenges and ensure the program's continued success. With the increased price of eggs affecting the distribution, the MLA's urgent appeal to the Chief Minister aims to find a solution, allowing the government to provide nutritious food to students without disruption.
