Eggs Out, Vegetarian Meals In: ISKCON Takes Over Mid-Day Meals in Kolkata Schools

Eggs will be removed from mid-day meals in Kolkata's government and aided schools as ISKCON takes over meal preparation. The Annamitra Foundation will supply fully vegetarian meals featuring paneer, rajma, soybeans, and pulses instead. Dietitians will design menus to ensure adequate protein and nutrition. The decision has sparked debate, with critics arguing eggs provide essential nutrients for children from low-income backgrounds.
