'Biryani and fried chicken are needed'; Shanku's request under consideration; Minister Veena George says the Anganwadi menu will be revised.

Little Shanku’s Request Under Consideration

Little Shanku’s request is being taken into account. The child wanted "biryani and fried chicken" instead of upma at the Anganwadi. His adorable request went viral on social media. Now, Health Minister Veena George has stepped in, assuring that necessary steps will be taken to revise the Anganwadi food menu considering Shanku’s request. She also added that the innocent request made by the child has been acknowledged.

Various nutritious meals are provided through Anganwadis to ensure children's health and well-being. Under the current government, a scheme to provide milk and eggs to children was introduced and is still successfully running. In addition to this, different types of food are being provided by local bodies under the coordination of the Child Development Department. The minister stated that Shanku’s opinion would be taken into consideration while reviewing the Anganwadi food menu. She also extended her warm regards to Shanku, his mother, and the Anganwadi staff.

Last Thursday, the video of Shanku demanding biryani and fried chicken instead of upma surfaced on social media. His innocent and humorous request went viral within minutes. The video gained millions of views on Instagram and Facebook. Many people commented in support, stating that the child's request was reasonable and that the Anganwadi menu should be revised. Following this overwhelming response, the minister took notice and intervened.
