Intro:सागर। सरकारी स्कूलों में शिक्षा का स्तर किसी से छिपा नहीं है, वहीं जहाँ एक ओर सरकार बच्चों को स्कूलों में मध्याह्न भोजन जैसी पोषण सुविधाएं देने के प्रयास में जुटी है वहीं ज़मीनी अमला सरकारी योजनाओं पर कलंक लंगाने को आमादा हैं। ताज़ा मामला सागर के मकरोनियां क्षेत्र के कन्या हाई स्कूल का है जहां मध्याह्न भोजन के बाद मासूम बच्चे अपनी अपनी थाली नाली के किनारे गंदे गड्ढे में धोते नज़र आए। अब नाली में धुले बर्तनों में इस मध्याह्न भोजन को खाकर बच्चों को पोषण मिलेगा या बीमारी ये तो साफ है। Body:स्कूल में मिलने वाले मध्याह्न भोजन देने वाली संस्था के लिए भोजन परोसने के साथ बर्तन की सफाई सभी का ज़िम्मा होता है, पर नियमों को ताक पर रख ये संस्थाएं और स्कूल प्रशासन मासूम बच्चों को इस तरह बर्तन धोने को मजबूर कर देते हैं। वहीं जब मामले में जिम्मेदार अधिकारी जांच के बाद कार्रवाई का कोरा आश्वासन देते नज़र आए।
