SUMMARY:Jean Drèze - "Yummy: School Meals in India"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for South Asian Studies for a virtual talk by Jean Drèze\, “Yummy: School Meals in India.” School meals have been a legal entitlement of Indian children since 2001. It took some years for this legal entitlement to translate into functional schemes\, but from then onwards school meals have made important contributions to child nutrition\, school attendance\, and social equity. From time to time\, they faced some resistance from the biscuit industry\, finance ministries\, upper-caste parents\, and other parties. School meals are alive and well today\, yet much scope remains to expand their nutritional\, educational\, and social benefit \n \nThis event is virtual. Register above. \nJean Drèze is a development economist based in Ranchi (Eastern India). His work focuses on various aspects of social policy\, from employment guarantee to school meals. He is also active in various campaigns for economic and social rights. \n  \n\nPresented by the Center for South Asian Studies.
