What is under the PM Poshan Scheme as a part of which Tithi Bhojan will be encouraged?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → It's a community participation program under which people provide special food to children on special occasions.
PM POSHAN (Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman), approved in September 2021, took the place of the Mid-Day Meal Scheme and gives a hot cooked meal to children in government and government-aided schools.
Under it, Tithi Bhojan is encouraged: a community participation programme in which people of the area provide special food to the schoolchildren on special occasions or festivals, such as a birthday or an anniversary in the family. It adds to the regular school meal and does not replace it.
