The state government failed to provide funding for mid-day meals in Sikar district. Reports indicate that 40 percent of schools in the district ran out of foodgrain stocks starting in July, and milk distribution stopped after September. Cooks employed under the scheme have not received their honorarium for eight months.

The funding failure highlights significant delays in public welfare spending, with reports noting that around Rs 3,200 crore in payments to contractors have remained pending for two years. The situation raises questions about the prioritization of funds for public services versus advertisements.
