28 Issues Due to traffic congestion it takes 1-2 hours to supply Mid Day Meal to some of the schools. Kitchens are not evenly located in different areas of Delhi. Helpers for distribution have to be arranged at school level. In Delhi, there are students who do not want to eat Mid Day Meal daily. They either eat only selective Menus or do not eat at all. In some areas like South Delhi and New Delhi, students do not like Mid Day Meal.
