meals in primary schools. This article reports the findings of a recent survey which suggests
that this initiative could have a major impact on child nutrition, school attendance and
social equity. However, quality issues need urgent attention if mid-day meal programmes are to
realise their full potential. Universal and nutritious mid-day meals would be a significant step
towards the realisation of the right to food.}
