Quality of Education among Primary School Children receiving Mid-Day Meal: Evidence from a Quasi-Experiment

Amit Kundu and Gitanjali Dutt

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper on the basis of Quasi-experiment shows that ‘quality of education’ of the students of the government owned primary schools getting mid-day meal are not satisfactory. Lack of giving sufficient importance on education by the parents for their children mainly coming from low socio-economic back ground is the major cause behind that.
