We couldn't independently confirm this verdict against a government order or an established news source. This assessment is provisional — read it with caution.
Help us verify“The monthly salary of mid-day meal workers working in all government schools will be increased to Rs. 10,000.”
The manifesto highlights promised to raise the monthly salary of mid-day meal workers in government schools to Rs 10,000. As of 2025 these cook-cum-helper workers continued to be paid a much lower honorarium, reported at around Rs 3,000 per month, and the Telangana High Court intervened to direct enhanced wages after workers petitioned over inadequate pay. Because the promised Rs 10,000 salary has not been implemented and pay enhancement has instead been driven by litigation, the verdict is pending. Budget: no approved-source evidence of an allocation to fund the promised Rs 10,000 salary was found. [source to be replaced: wage-status evidence rests on a source outside the strict approved list and should be upgraded when an approved source is available]
High Court directs enhanced wages for mid-day meal staff still being paid about Rs 3,000 per month
