West Bengal government revokes Akshaya Patra midday meal contract in four districts

The West Bengal government has rescinded an order that had permitted Akshaya Patra, a not-for-profit organisation, to provide midday meals to schools across four districts. The reversal comes only weeks after the initial directive was issued.

The decision marks a significant shift in the state's approach to midday meal provision in these districts, though the government has not publicly detailed reasons for the cancellation.
