Abstract	The study examines the implementation of the Mid Day Meal (PM POSHAN) scheme during COVID-19 in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, using primary data from 100 parents of government school children and a mixed methods approach including regression analysis. While all received dry rations during school closures, job losses led to reduced household dietary diversity. The economic impact of the pandemic outweighed the benefits of ration distribution. Still, respondents highlighted the scheme’s crucial role in supporting marginalized families. The study calls for better implementation, enhanced nutrition, and stronger government measures to safeguard child nutrition and education during crises.
Keywords	Mid Day Meal (PM POSHAN) , Child Nutrition, Dietary diversity, Regression analysis.
