A recent UN report presented evidence on the potential short and long-term negative effects of the disruption to school meal schemes during the COVID-19 pandemic globally.
A survey conducted by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A) and UNICEF Gujarat revealed that among households which had children enrolled in government schools, 85 per cent of the parents reported that they were not able to access anything in lieu of mid-day meals since March, when schools were closed due to the Covid-19pandemic.

That the premier Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) had three founding fathers nuclear scientist Vikram Sarabhai, industrial Kasturbhai Lalbhai and former Gujarat chief minister Jivraj Mehta is well-documented.
What was not known until today is that the institute also had a founding mother, who, new research now shows, could not become the Director due to “sexism.”
Kamla Chowdhry was IIMA’s first faculty member and a coordinator of programmes at the school between 1962 and 1965.
