Education On An Egg Per Week !

A lady cooks lunch for students studying at a government school in Bihar so casually I asked her what children get for lunch. She replied, "Generally it is just rice and sabzi, aloo gobi. Sometimes there is dal too. " One labourer a parent said, "Dal is only in name.. It's so patla... almost like Ganga jal. " He added, "First they gave two eggs per week but now they give egg only on Fridays." "Also they don't allow children to take the egg home. " But why? "Because their parents would eat it. " After Bihar's new secretary K. K. Pathak has taken charge sometimes a school inspector visits the school I wish they would give an egg per day. How much can you study on an egg per week. Surely Naya Bharat can afford that.... Then we can all shout Bharat Mata Ki Jai !
