Autobiography by N. D. Sundaravadivelu. == Mid day meals scheme ==

This program was a brain child of Valluvan, the only son of Thiru. N. D. Sundaravadivelu, who remarked at a school children gathering that why many of the children didn't go to school. When told that they have to work to eat, he retorted why can't they be given food at school. This program became so popular that Mr. Nehru came to see it in person and Mr. Karmaraj, chief minister of Tamil Nadu was present at that function with Mr. N. D. S. Mr Nehru was so impressed that subsequently Mr. N. D. Sundaravadivelu was awarded a Padma Shri for this idea. There are photos of this occasion.

I thought Wikipedia strives to portray correct info from the source. Believe me, I lived during the period all this happened. I won't bother correcting any misinformation any more!
