At ZPHS Buruguda in Kumuram Bheem Asifabad district, Sri Rahul Raj – Collector, in his address to the gathering, appreciated the Trust for the wonderful service rendered to the children. He said this service gives two benefits. Firstly, it helps in the eradication of malnutrition in poor children in these tribal areas, and secondly, the children usually travel long distances to school and while parents are unable to feed them in the morning, this service helps them attend classes with filled stomachs and no child will remain in school hungry! The collector announced Rs. 300 per month to the cooking agency of each school, much to the delight of all. On request by the collector to feed the Class 10 students in the evening as well, for additional classes, Sri Anand Kumar Kadali – Trustee and Executive Secretary of Annapoorna Trust announced that the Trust will provide additional provisions to them.
