Alongside the salary boost, the administration will allocate ₹5,000 to schools that can set up kitchen gardens and ₹2,000 to those lacking space. The gardens supply fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables that are incorporated into the midday meals, enhancing nutritional value. The programme also provides supplementary nutrition items such as chick‑i, jaggery, roasted gram and ramdana laddus during the December‑March window each year.
