Jaipur: Former US President Bill Clinton today served chapattis to children at a government school here after witnessing preparation of mid-day meals for thousands of students at the kitchen run by an NGO.

Clinton visited the kitchen of Akshya Patra Foundation in Jagatpura area where he saw how food was prepared with the use of technology for a large number of government school children as part of the mid-day meal programme.

The former US President, who arrived here on Monday night as part of his tour to Asia/Pacific region to oversee the work of Clinton Foundation, arrived at the NGO’s facility with his 25-member delegation where he was received by the organisation’s trustee members and some school students.

He then took nearly an hour-long trip around the kitchen to see how it caters to school students in and around Jaipur, during which he was briefed about the operation by the foundation’s Chairman Madhu Pandit Dasa.

Clinton seemed specially impressed by the functioning of a Chapatti-making machine with a capacity to make 40,000 of such flat breads in an hour. “I want to thank all of the students and teachers for the warm welcome.” Clinton said after his visit to the school. (IANS)
