Sanguine Management Services Pvt. Ltd.Summary of its findings:- In the study area the MDM scheme is being implemented and managed effectively and efficiently (high rate (91%) of MDM days, 96% achievement in serving adequate quantity of food and high rate of community satisfaction) and progressing towards achieving its objectives. However, some areas of improvement have been identified that include infrastructure, hygiene and cleanliness, storage facility, quality, quantity of raw materials and cooked food being served. Total 650 center has been covered under 25 Talukas with 7 Districts in the State.

Major Recommendations:-1)Centralized Kitchen- As it is practiced in the state of Karnataka,

wherever possible, hi-tech centralized kitchen may be introduced.

2)Increase Financial provision- Considering the increase in price index and cost of fuel, it is recommend that proportional increase in the financial allocation for per day per child may be considered.

3)The rechristening of MDM as “Suruchi Bhojan” would help shun the perception of MDM as the food of only poor children.

Sardar Patel Institution of Economics and Social Research

Summary of its findings:- In all the 118 schools in three district visited by MI, hot cooked food was served. MI found that more than 82% children had attended the school on the visit day. More than Seventy two percent children availed the MDM. The MI did not find any gender, caste, community discrimination in cooking, serving and sitting arrangement. Boys and girls used to sit in separate rows while the MDM is served in majority of the visited schools. ‘Bal Bhog’, a nutritional supplement, is given to the children periodically. The quality of cooked food was found to be good in all schools.

Major Recommendations:-1)Strict monitoring of MDM stocks at both block and district level is

suggested.

2)Majority of the teachers and principals with few exceptions are not aware of the details like how much quantity is used, stock verification etc. Topics related to MDM can be included as a part of the training curriculum for the teachers.

3)Provision of MDM dishes should be considered for all school children that can help for more children to avail MDM consumption.

10. Issues to be Considered

Transport subsidy is being provided at the rate of Rs. 75 per Qtl. since 2006.
