The Krasnoyarsk Territory Government has decided to increase the cost and calorific value of school meals in the Evenki and Taymyr Dolgano-Nenets municipal districts.

“The cost of produce for hot breakfasts and lunches has been increased, as has the calorific value of diets for the Arctic zone. This will benefit 2,200 school students in Evenkiya and 1,028 school students in Taimyr. The cost of packed meals they are provided with has been increased as well,” the governmental press service reports.

The new dietary standards have been introduced in keeping with amendments made to the territorial Law On Protecting the Rights of the Child.
