Delhi government schools will serve idli with sambar under a revised PM-POSHAN menu, with implementation by August 24. The six-day menu also includes poori with black chana gravy, rice with chhole, dal and kadhi. Ragi halwa has been replaced by wheat flour and chana masala, and vegetable daliya by jowar and bajra. The Delhi Directorate of Education has given agencies two weeks to operationalise idli-sambar, as it requires special equipment and trained staff. Agencies may serve different approved items across schools on the same day, but all six menu days must be followed in every school. Violations may invite action under empanelment agreements.
