Every day she writes in midday meal diary: ‘No one ate today’

Since appointment of Dalit cook, 100 have left Kagganahalli school in Kolar
Every day Radhamma takes out a diary she is required to maintain as part of the mid-day meal scheme in government schools in Karnataka and writes four words, “No one ate today.” Every day for the past five months.

Radhamma is a Scheduled Caste, and the condition that she not make food is the only way she can retain her job of head cook at the Government Higher Primary School in Kagganahalli village in Kolar district of Karnataka. In January 2014, there were 118 students at the school, from Classes I to VIII. Since her appointment in February 2014, 100 have left. The remaining 18 continue on the condition, laid down by their parents, that Radhamma not make the mid-may meal.

It earns her Rs 1,700 per month, but every paisa counts for her family of seven persons belonging to the Adi Karnataka caste.

I will expect someone like the late Kalburgi to send his children to that school and allow them to eat the noon meal prepared by the Dalit cook. One bold step will sometimes give the right thinking to many others!
 
The reasons for kids not eating the noon meal is attributed that the cook Radhamma is a Scheduled Caste woman.

Whether the parents while in travel take food in hotels or not ?

How do they ensure that all the cooks in hotels are not scheduled castes.

Many catering technologists who happened to be SCs are working as cooks in star hotels.

These people are hypocrites and display false prestige.
