Chief Minister Punjab added there are thousands of schools in Punjab in which millions of children study. Pakistan is not a rich country, and resources are few.

Good times will come soon. I will try my best to do whatever I can to meet the nutritional needs of the children.

Under the programme, Nutritious milk packs will be given to primary school students to eliminate malnutrition.
