<h1>Minister proposes adding shrimp and fish to mid-day meals; requires approvals, policy changes, safety compliance, stakeholder consultation</h1> A state government minister proposed adding shrimp or fish to the mid-day meal programme in government and aided schools to boost protein intake and domestic consumption amid international tariff pressures, and announced forthcoming fisheries support schemes. Legally, implementation would implicate administrative approval by the state education department, amendments to nutrition and procurement policies, compliance with food safety and allergen regulations, budgetary allocations, and vendor qualification rules. Stakeholder consultations, coordination with fisheries and health agencies, and possible litigation or public interest challenges regarding religious, cultural or health objections could affect rollout and timelines.
