Uttrakhand, 21 December 2021 :<\/strong> Students of Upper Hindu Caste boycotts the mid-day meal made by a dalit woman, named as Sunita Devi.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the first day (of her joining work), students of upper caste had the midday meal cooked by her without any fuss, but from the next day, they started boycotting the meals,\u201d said Prem Singh, principal of Government Inter College, Sukhidhang, said on Monday. \u201cWhat made them stop eating the midday meals is beyond my understanding. Of the total 57 students, today only 16 students belonging to the scheduled caste had a meal here. ” (sources :\u00a0 Hindustan Times<\/a>\u00a0)<\/p>\n

The School total has a strength of\u00a0 230 students. Out of total 66 students from class 6-8, around 40\u00a0 students have stopped eating mid-day meal as Sunita devi started her work on December 13, Singh said. Instead of having food at school, students preferred to bring lunchbox from home.<\/p>\n
