Nineteen children have experienced death at the same time more are sick succeeding eating free meals at a primary school in eastern India. Furthermore, Bihar state official Amarjit Sinha expressed that 28 children have been hospitalized in Patna, the state capital. Arousing great shock, ten of them known to be in critical condition. As a matter of fact, the children are in age group 8 to 11. The children fell sick immediately succeeding eating meals in the school on Tuesday in Masrakh which is a village 80 km north of Patna. The meal was cooked in the primary school kitchen.

Now, from this incident it's clear that even though it's named as free meal, yet the hygiene was not taken into consideration. The actuality here is the word "free" is itself a very helpless one, whenever we name it gives a meaning of deterioration. If they can't afford quality then they must avoid feeding children. It's better to stay empty stomach than to die hard.
