This is how you as a parent or a guardian in Bhakkar may access these benefits in terms of the steps that you will undertake.
Identify Eligible Schools
Students in government primary schools are currently targeted with the School Meal Program, thus, only those children studying in the institutions that are participating in the program can have meals using the program. The program was inaugurated at Government Primary School Kisanwala and has since then grown at a very high rate to enhance the nutrition and attendance of students. At present it operates in over 8,000 schools in 13 districts. The parents, particularly those residing at Bhakkar, are encouraged to visit the nearest Government Primary School to see whether the meal facility has started in the same school and to obtain all the details regarding enrollment and distributions of the meal daily.
