A wonder drug containing all the nutrients, proteins and vitamins needed for a child's development could soon form part of the mid day meals given in schools. Obtained from the fresh water algae, spirulina, the drug's capabilities have been ascertained by a multi-disciplinary research team consisting of scientists from molecular biology and genetic engineering. The National Research Development Corporation feels the drug could form an important component in the mid-day meals served in the schools throughout the country.
