CM Free School Meal Programme
The Sindh government has taken a major step in the world of education and welfare by launching the CM Free School Meal Programme, under which children of government schools in the backward areas of the province will be provided with one free and balanced meal daily. This initiative is not only important for improving the health of children but will also have a positive impact on their academic performance.
Official Launch of the Program
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and the Education Minister have launched this program regularly at a government primary school in Memon Got area of Karachi. They personally went there and fed the children and inaugurated the program. On this occasion, more than 700 children of the school were provided free food.
Partnership for Improvement
This program has been launched in collaboration with the Education Department of the Sindh Government and a well-known welfare organization, Allah Wale Trust. The aim of this partnership is to provide nutrition to those children of the society who are deprived of even the basic necessities of life due to economic constraints.

Over 70,000 Children Benefit in Initial Phase
In the first phase of the program, more than 70,000 children from government schools located in various backward areas of Sindh province will be provided free meals daily. These meals have been prepared with the help of experts in such a way that they meet the nutritional needs of children and help in their physical and mental development.
Education and Nutrition are Closely Linked
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, Education Minister Syed Sardar Ali Shah said that “the academic performance of children is directly related to their nutrition. If children do not get proper food, they cannot focus on their studies and their learning capacity decreases.” He also expressed concern over the increasing poverty in Pakistan. He further stated that our country Pakistan is among the 10 poorest countries in the world where poverty is the highest, with approximately 42 percent of the population living in poverty. In such circumstances, focusing on the health and education of children should be our top priority.”
Future Expansion
During this event, it was also informed that the Sindh government will continue to extend the program to other districts and even to other deserving children. This initiative will not only improve the health of children but will also increase the attendance rate in schools, which has been a long-standing problem.

Role of Allah Wale Trust
Describing this partnership as a positive step, Shahid Lone, Head of Allah Wale Trust, said, “Only a healthy child can get a better education, and a balanced diet is his fundamental right. We are happy that the Sindh government has paid attention to this important issue and we are proud to be a part of this mission.” He added, “This program will not only provide nutrition but also promote self-confidence, dedication to learning, and social harmony among children.”
Conclusion
The Sindh School Meal Program is an important and exemplary step for the education and health of children in Pakistan. This will not only remove nutritional barriers to education but also reduce the economic pressure on poor families. It is hoped that other provinces will also follow this excellent example of the Sindh government so that children across the country can move towards a bright and healthy future.
