UVAS-PPA School Meal Program

Department of Poultry Production in collaboration with Pakistan Poultry Association has started a joint venture to provide daily meal to school goring children. The school going children in Pakistan are malnourished and protein deficient. So, the basic objective of the project is to fulfill protein deficiency in school going children and provide them with health diet daily. In this regard, chicken eggs and drumsticks are being provided on alternate day basis to students of Government Girls Community Model School, Mundaiki, Pattoki. The project got astonishing appraisal and the number of admitted students in schools dramatically increased form merely 120 to 210 within one month of initiation of the project. Dr. Faisal Hussnain (Lecturer, Poultry Production) is dealing with the project presently. The UVAS-PPA collaboration is not only limited for provision of meal; rather a team from Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition is monitoring the growth of children as a result of this project. Moreover, the students are also trained for adopting healthy habits like washing hands & plates before and after meal, queue formation and use of dustbins.
