A panel appointed by the Education Ministry found that the West Bengal government had over-reported 16 crore midday meals worth over Rs. 100 crore between April to September 2022, reported PTI. Notably, the Centre formed a joint review committee in January to review the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN), formerly known as the midday meal scheme in West Bengal.
