About The Initiative

Empowering citizens to monitor the quality of meals for our children - anytime, anywhere.

The Social Welfare Department of Karnataka is making a significant move towards transparency, accountability, and social audit by closely monitoring meal quality in its residential schools and hostels. Initially piloted in Bidar, Chamarajanagar, and Raichur, the initiative has now been extended to all 31 districts, covering 2,826 hostels and schools. Schools and hostels share daily photos of breakfast, lunch, and dinner on their official X (Twitter) accounts, ensuring real-time updates. This dedicated web page centralizes these updates, making it easy for parents, stakeholders, and officials to track meal quality statewide. This initiative strengthens public trust and provides real-time insights into student nutrition.

As Minister, I emphasize that the health of children in our department's schools and hostels is our top priority. We will ensure there is no compromise on the quality and safety of the food they receive, fostering their well-being.
