About Chief Minister Breakfast Scheme

The Department of Social Welfare and Women Empowerment of the Tamil Nadu Government runs the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Breakfast Scheme for school students, under which children of the 1st to 5th standard in Government primary schools are served breakfast on every school working day. For the first phase, Corporations, Municipalities, and Panchayats were chosen on the basis of high Anemia prevalence in NHFS-5 data, economically backward blocks under SBGF, Tribal habitations, and remote, hard-to-reach areas. Currently the scheme reaches 1,14,095 primary school children in 1545 Government schools at a total cost of ₹33.56 crores, and it will be rolled out to the remaining schools in phases.
