Digambar Jain Samaj protests against eggs in mid-day meals for students

December 18, 2021

Mysuru: Strongly condemning the Government’s move to distribute eggs to school children as part of mid-day meals scheme, members of the city’s Digambar Jain Samaj staged a demonstration at Gandhi Square in city on Thursday.

Opposing the Government order on distribution of eggs to children in Government and aided Schools, they said that the order was an attempt to make pure vegetarian children as non-vegetarians. Maintaining that cereals and millets are more nutrient rich, they urged the Government to withdraw the order on distribution of eggs and instead provide other nutrition supplements.

Arguing that the Government order was a blow to the principles of non-violence and also disturbs the food habits of many children, they said that the Government must not distribute eggs to school children in the interests of equality and harmony.

Samaj President M.R. Sunil Kumar, office-bearers V. Padmaraj, Nirmala Bharathraj, Padma Dhanyakumar and others took part in the protest.
