However, she expressed her commitment to meeting the nutritional needs of children, stating, “Nothing is more valuable than our children.” She emphasized that the program was not just a launch event but a practical initiative to address the nutritional needs of children.
The Chief Minister pointed out that the program was launched in Dera Ghazi Khan, rather than major cities like Lahore or Rawalpindi, underscoring her commitment to grassroots development and practical work. She expressed her desire to work like a mother for the people of Punjab, prioritizing their needs and well-being.
CM Maryam Nawaz also urged all provincial chief ministers to implement similar programs in their respective provinces, emphasizing the importance of investing in children’s nutrition and education. She stressed that this investment would yield long-term benefits for the country’s future.
The school nutrition program is an expensive initiative, but CM Maryam Nawaz believes it is essential for the development and growth of children. By providing free milk to students up to the fifth grade, the program aims to address malnutrition and related health issues, ultimately improving the overall well-being of children.
