How A Kerala Boy’s Innocent Wish For Biryani In School Meal Started A Change

An innocent statement by a small child has captured the attention of Kerala’s Health Minister Ms. Veena George. 

In the video which was shot while the child was being fed home-cooked biryani by his mother, Rijul S Sunada, also known as Shanku, can be seen telling his mother that they should be given ‘birnani’ (biryani) and ‘poricha koi’ (fried chicken) at school instead of upma. 

The viral video was shared by his mother on social media and soon it garnered a lot of attention. 

Health Minister Ms. Veena George also shared the video on her social media and announced that the State Government would review the menu for Anganwadi students.

“Shanku has very innocently raised the demand. Various types of food are provided through Anganwadis to ensure children's nutrition. During this government’s tenure, a scheme to provide eggs and milk through Anganwadis was implemented. It is going successfully. Local bodies are providing various types of food in Anganwadis on their own under the coordination of the Women and Child Development Department,” she said.

Well, it didn’t stop here. Shanku’s mother also revealed that many people tried to get in touch with her because they wanted to send biryani and chicken fry for Shanku. 

It seems like Shanku is going to have a lot of Biryani in the coming days.
