Some schools are already out of options. The Shri Ram School in Gurugram warned parents it may be unable to provide lunch or snacks from March 16, saying its caterer had only about two days' LPG stock left.
In Mumbai, the city's municipal corporation warned that more than 500,000 students could miss out on meals since kitchens need pricey LPG cylinders every day.
In West Bengal, Krishnachandrapur High School cooked for 1,500 students using firewood when gas ran out.
Many other schools are serving simpler dishes like khichdi or changing how they prepare food.
Everyone's just trying to make sure kids still get something to eat.
To help fix things, the government has boosted LPG production by 28%, focusing on household needs first.
Local officials say they're working hard so midday meals don't stop completely.
Some large meal providers reported limited stocks and are monitoring the situation closely.
