The programme was introduced in a large scale in 1960s under the Chief Ministership of kamaraj
. However, the first major thrust came in 1982when the then Chief Minister of tamilnadu, Dr. M. G. Ramachandran,
decided to universalise the scheme for all children in government schools in primary classes. Later the programme was expanded to cover all children up to class 10. Tamil Nadu’s mid-day meal programme is among the best known in the country.
Although the programme in Tamil Nadu was initially termed as an act of "populism", the success of the scheme made the project hugely popular. The success was so spectacular that in 1995, the then Indian Finance minister manmohansingh
hailed the success of the project and suggested that the scheme be implemented all over the country, and thus began the "National Programme for Nutrition Support to Primary Education".
In April the Supreme Court directed the government to fully implement its scheme of providing cooked meals to all children in primary schools. This landmark direction converted the mid-day meal scheme into a legal entitlement, the violation of which can be taken up in the court of law.
