Telangana Breakfast and Milk Scheme

Telangana launched its flagship Breakfast and Milk Scheme on 15 June 2026 for students from pre-primary to Class XII in government schools and junior colleges. With an annual budget of ₹720 crore (₹540 crore for breakfast and ₹180 crore for milk/ragi malt), it aims to benefit 29 lakh students. The initial phase covers 1,302 institutions and 1.44 lakh students across eight districts. The weekly menu includes dosa, idli, puri, upma, etc., with milk and ragi malt on alternate days. It builds on the earlier BRS government’s initiative.
