In India, many states have a mid-day meals programme in govt schools from the 1980’s. The central govt also focused on it around the mid 90’s.
My state, Kerala seems to be decent in that aspect and I think it was even extended to govt-aided schools.
Though, there are some stories where the govt fund is delayed and the school teachers(mostly by the head teacher) have to pickup the slack until the fund gets disbursed.
Do many other countries give free food in school? As a Canadian my high school had a paid cafeteria and elementary school had nothing
