School Education Department maintains egg purchase price for midday meal scheme

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

The School Education Department in Karnataka has not taken a final decision on revising the purchase price of eggs supplied under the midday meal scheme, even though market egg prices keep rising.
Several districts have requested a price revision, and department officials held a meeting on Thursday to discuss these appeals, but after lengthy discussions no conclusion was reached.
One official said that although egg prices are climbing steadily, the coming month of Shravana and the festival season means most Hindu students will not eat eggs, so the meeting saw the view that it would be appropriate to revise the egg purchase price only after Shravana ends.
