Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala general education minister V Sivankutty has said that the department is planning to provide a 100 gram peanut candy bar in the midday meal scheme once a week in schools in Wayanad, Idukki and Adivasi areas in Palakkad.
Talking at a meeting of the midday meal scheme officers and supervisors, the minister added that a vegetable garden would be set up in every school in the state within November. The vegetables produced in the garden would be used for preparing food at the school.
