In 1995 the National Primary Education Nutrition Support Program was launched with two main objectives: Universalization of elementary education and enhancement of primary school student's nutritional status. The dominant government offered 100 g of wheat / rice per day to children in classes I to V throughout the province, local authorities and the Government helped the elementary schools. Hot cooked meals were provided by Kerala, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh and MP Cereals providing but other states and UTs provided 3 kg of cereals / month to 80 percent attendance for children. By 2001 there were more than 100 systems had served millions of students in 7, 92,000 colleges. In 2001, India's Supreme Court governed that midday meal (MDM) is a legitimate claim for school children, and also that the administration would have to deliver all primary school children with a hot cooked midday meal for 200 days. Universal primary schooling and MDM have also been accomplished in the last decade. MDM provides roughly 100 million children with hot cooked meals each day. MDM's cereal content is sufficient but MDM's pulse but vegetable quality is insufficient. Under-nourished school health facilities in coordination with MDM can be identified; Usage of the Body Mass Index (BMI) for aged for healthy and over-nourished children, as well as provide adequate therapy and treatment. If this method is implemented and regularly practiced, and the nutritional child is diagnosed can be considerably improved.

“…As such, given the concurrent need to address both economic and social aspects, the supply chain inherent is unusual as compared to industrial for-profit supply chains. The social aspect is linked with the innate social orientation of the program, and is associated with the satisfaction of beneficiaries (Ali and Akbar, 2015b). Further, given the limited financial support being received by a meal provider, the economic aspect is associated with its financial survival.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and further explain the phenomena of supplier participation in addressing the sustainability-oriented objectives of a supply chain. Specifically, the paper explains how a buyer can integrate sustainability concerns among its suppliers. The study is based in the context of the Indian school feeding (mid-day meal) program and approaches the issue from the perspective of a mid-day meal provider. Design/methodology/approach This paper first explains how the mid-day meal providers in India explicitly address the social and economic dimensions of sustainability. Thereby, it conducts an exploratory case study on a renowned meal provider with the objective to understand the nature of its efforts toward supplier participation through in-depth interviews. Findings As evident in the case, from the buyer’s perspective, the key to success in winning supplier participation in addressing the sustainability-oriented supply chain objectives largely revolves around efforts along the critical aspects of policy development, policy implementation, and intent building with suppliers. Originality/value This paper propagates a threefold value by outlining the central importance of the focus on efforts and challenges for understanding supplier participation in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). First, the paper is among the initial studies to focus on ground-level efforts and challenges for a mid-day meal provider, and outlines best practices. Second, the case presents revelatory insights on SSCM from the perspective of supplier participation. For example, it demonstrates the relevance of supply-chain-based social identification in governing supplier willingness to participate in a buyer’s SSCM. Third, the findings also extend critical implications toward SSCM theory and practice.
