At a time when vegetarianism is getting fast popularity world-wide, it is shocking Congress led Chhatisgarh government is forcing school-children to non-vegetarianism by inducing eggs in mid-deal meal programme for school-children. India is the only country in the world where vegetarianism is integral part of culture and religion. Even many restaurants observe non-vegetarianism twice a year for ten days in Navratras. Many non-vegetarian persons adopt vegetarianism during Navratras and Tuesdays as religious requirement. Under the circumstances, at least non-vegetarianism must not be allowed in government-sponsored schemes like mid-day meal programme.
