Observations by MI • Positive Points: • There is direct impact of MDM in the school attendance as observed by MI. The parents and teachers opined the same. • Students of the sample primary and upper primary schools expressed their satisfaction about the quality. • All the sample schools are in use of iodized salt. • Backward community women are involved in cooking & serving the MDM. • No gender or caste or community discrimination found in cooking/serving and sitting arrangements of the MDM takers in both primary and upper primary level. • In most cases buffer stocks are maintained. WEST BENGAL
Observations by MI • Areas of concern: • MDM service on Saturdays is still not regular. • Not all cook-cum-helpers are trained. • Door step delivery of food grains is not done in the case of certain • schools by the MR dealers. • Irregular payment of the cook cum helpers. • Uneconomic use of fire wood in most of the places for cooking MDM. WEST BENGAL
Good Practices • Solar Energy harnessing equipment is used for heating water which is used for cooking MDM and other purposes in Vidyasagar G.S.F.P. Vidyalayaunder Taherpurin Nadia district. State is exploring replication of the model in consultation with the WBREDA and WBGEDC. 100 schools are being covered in the Sunderban Areas. • Many schools in different districts grow vegetables in the kitchen gardens of the schools and utilize the vegetables in MDM . This kitchen garden initiative is being taken up in convergence with MGNREGS. • In some places the community people, members of concerned Village Education Committees/Managing committee contribute fund to purchase the additional requirement of kitchen devices. • All children are served food by making them sit in rows irrespective of caste and creed. • System of harvesting rain water is being practiced in some schools. • In some schools of Purba Medinipur district the community members often contribute their agricultural produce to this programme. WEST BENGAL
Quality control mechanism on rice • Advance identification of stack of rice in FCI depot. • Lifting of rice from the identified stack. • Drawal of joint sample of rice at the time of lifting . • Safe keeping of sample bags of rice duly signed by QC Officials of • FCI and State Govt. at different levels (DM , SDO, BDO and DCF & S). • Sealed packets of samples of the rice are kept to tackle any problem if • cropped up at subsequent stage in regard to quality and quantity of rice. • Quality control training is imparted to MDM Officials at the District • Level. • Strict vigil is kept during lifting of rice at the FCI depot. WEST BENGAL
Impact • Attendance in school and coverage under the Scheme is increasing. • Gender empowerment by opening employment opportunities for • poor rural women. • Community people are coming forward gradually and participate in • the Mid-Day Meal programme. • (Report of internal monitoring team, Hooghly). • The coverage of MDM in rural areas is more satisfactory than that of • Urban areas. • MDM has a direct beneficial impact on flood/drought affected • people in some areas of West Bengal. WEST BENGAL
Challenges • To reach 100% coverage. • Space problem specially in Urban areas. • Cost of Kitchen devices per school still remains at Rs. 5000/- which • is insufficient for schools where MDM takers are high. • Community participation is not adequate in all the schools. • Insufficient Management Structure. • Construction of dining halls in schools.
