A.P. Food Commission finds lapses at anganwadi centres and welfare hostels

An investigation by the Andhra Pradesh Food Commission has uncovered significant issues at anganwadi centres and welfare hostels, including misuse of food stocks, serving stale meals, and using expired provisions for mid-day meals. This raises serious concerns about the safety and nutritional standards for children in these institutions. Such lapses not only undermine the government's efforts to ensure proper nutrition but also highlight systemic inefficiencies that need urgent attention to protect the well-being of vulnerable children.
