Hyderabad: Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Commissioner Ronald Rose has ordered officials to complete the arrangements to provide free breakfast to students studying in government schools. The State government will launch a new scheme on October 24, commemorating Dasara, to provide free breakfast to students, like the mid-day meals. Rose held a conference with Hyderabad Collector Anudeep Durishetti, Additional Commissioner Sneha Sabarish and Zonal Commissioners on breakfast arrangements in all government schools under GHMC.
