School children to get honey along with mid-day meals?
Bengaluru, September 25: Following the direction from the Ministry of Human Resources, the Primary and Secondary Education department has decided to provide honey along with the Mid-day meals to the school children, sources said.
In a circular issued to all state governments, the Ministry of Human Resources said that the honey has Immunity power, Carbohydrate, Amino acids, Nutrients, Minerals and Rich protein which will increase the hunger among children besides providing energy and help digest the food very easily. It would also help convert the calcium. If the children consume honey regularly, they would develop immunity power and keep themselves away from normal health disorders like Bacterial infections, Cold, Allergy and Asthma. It would also help control the blood level, it is said.
But the officials were in confusion on how to supply honey along with the mid-day meals. The honey could be given by mixing it with hot milk. It would be difficult to give it separately. But the decision to this effect was not yet taken, the officials said.
Following the advice from the National Honey Bees Corporation coming under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, the Ministry of Human Resources has issued the order. According to a study by the Switzerland-based Honey Bees Research Centre, the honey has more than 600 useful factors. Based on the nutrient values, the honey is considered the best digestive, it is said.
Meeting was held with the Prime Minister and tested various kinds of honey and found that the honey has good nutrients. The societies, units and Companies producing honey were asked to supply quality honey to the children, it is said.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
