Tamil Nadu renames breakfast programme after Kamaraj

The Tamil Nadu government has renamed its Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme, according to The Hindu. The programme will henceforth be known as the Perunthalaivar Kamarajar Breakfast Scheme. The name refers to Kamarajar, although the supplied material does not provide any further explanation of the decision or describe an accompanying announcement.

The available report confirms a change in the scheme’s name but does not indicate that its objectives, eligibility rules or method of delivery have changed. It also gives no information about the number of children covered or the budget allocated to the programme. No details were provided about when the new name will appear in government records, at schools or in public communications.

The source material likewise does not include comments from the state government or opposition parties. The Hindu reported the change in a brief item titled “Tamil Nadu government renames CM Breakfast Scheme after Kamaraj”. On the information available, the renaming is the only confirmed change to the scheme.
