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.

New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the time has come for the implementation of the Women's Reservation Act in its true spirit and the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and Assembly elections are conducted with the quota for women in place.
In a letter to the floor leaders of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, ahead of the three-day special sittings of Parliament, Modi also asked all members to come together in one voice to pass the amendments to the women's reservation law, officially known as Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.
"After extensive deliberations, we have reached the conclusion that the time has now come to implement the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam in its true spirit across the country.
"It is imperative that the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and Assembly elections are conducted with women's reservation in place," the Prime Minister said in his letter dated April 11.
The Budget Session of Parliament has been extended, and a special three-day sitting of the House has been convened on April 16 to 18.
The Women's Reservation Act will ensure an increase in the number of Lok Sabha seats to 816, of which 273 will be reserved for women.
The provision to provide 33 per cent reservation to women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies was brought by amending the Constitution in 2023.
However, the women's quota would have come into effect only after the completion of the delimitation exercise on the basis of the 2027 Census. This meant the reservation would not have become enforceable before 2034 if the present law remains as is.
To implement it from the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, changes were needed in the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam; hence, the government is holding a special session to pass the amendments to the law.
