On Friday, representatives of the Hare Krishna Foundation met Chief Minister Revanth Reddy at his Jubilee Hills residence. During the meeting, Junna Solar Systems Private Limited and Chain Labs India Private Limited signed an agreement with the Hare Krishna Foundation, in the presence of the CM, to support the breakfast scheme for government school students.
Speaking on the occasion, CM Revanth Reddy emphasised that quality food should be served to the students. The main objective of serving breakfast is to provide nutritious food and encourage students to pursue their studies regularly in the schools.
The Chief Minister suggested maintaining a track record of students studying in government schools.
