As prioritizing nutrition in this food system, this study try to assess to what extent MDMS is executing to provide supplementary nutrition for growing children. The study depends on the cross sectional longitudinal data of randomly selected seven hundred thirty six children of 6 to 13 years age group from govt. primary and upper primary schools of rural set up. Field voice reports that MDMS is acting successfully in providing secured regular lunch food for children. To make its success much better, the challenges facing this programme are also being addressed and also few recommendations are being mentioned.
