Prayas believes that the educational development of children cannot take place without adequate attention paid to their health and nutritional status. Therefore, as apart of the efforts to boost the Universalization of Elementary Education drive and the Alternative Education Program, Prayas has adopted a Mid-Day Meal Scheme. This approach has been adopted mainly because it improves the nutritional status of students in AE classes, which is a must for affective participation in school. Mid-Day Meals are provided to all children attending the AE centres. As many as 10,000 children are provided Mid-Day Meals in a single day through its centres spread all over Delhi
