Fearing opposition on religious ground, the BJP-led Madhya Pradesh government has refused to include eggs in mid-day meals.

The Ministry of Agriculture had suggested to the state government to introduce eggs in mid-day meals, which would benefit both malnourished children as well as poultry farmers.

As per a 2011 survey by the National Institute of Nutrition, every second child in Madhya Pradesh is malnourished, and eggs could prove to be a cost effective way to increase the nutritional value of mid-day meals. The state government, however, says it may hurt the sentiment of people.
