Anisur Rahman Shelly : Kalihati (Tangail) Representative: The inauguration of the ‘Mid-Day Meal’ program and a parent-teacher meeting were held at Ichapur Sher-e-Bangla High School in Kalihati Upazila of Tangail to ensure the nutrition of students, increase school attendance and improve the quality of education.
Sultan Salauddin Tuku, MP, State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock, was present as the chief guest at the program organized at the school premises on Saturday (August 1) morning. He highlighted the importance of school-based nutritious food programs to ensure good health, regular school attendance, and quality education of students.
