Shivpuri, Friday 10 July 2015. The Sahariya children of Shirpura village (Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh) rarely get a chance to eat an egg. Today however, they enjoyed a boiled egg as part of a midday meal organized with contributions from the village community. This was also a symbolic protest against the Chief Minister’s recent refusal to let eggs be served to young children in Anganwadis.
