The Deadly School Lunch Program in India
Grants for School Meals
In India, a government grant program was designed to provide nutritious meals to school children. The initiative received extensive funding to improve child health and education. However, poor implementation and corruption turned this well-intentioned program into a tragedy. What should have been a lifeline for children became a source of heartbreak and loss.
Tragic Outcomes
Contaminated food, mismanagement, and the misuse of funds led to the death of several children and widespread illness. The scandal highlighted the dire need for better oversight and accountability in the distribution and use of government grants. The tragic outcomes were heart-wrenching, and the failure of this program serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of corruption.
