Observations of Monitoring InstituteUniversity,
Aizwal
Districts Lawngtlai and Saiha

• All the schools in the sample districts MDM was
  in operation. However, it was found to be
  irregular in a considerable percentage of schools
  in both the districts. It is pertinent to mention
  that certain sample schools from both the
  district s have not served MDM from many months.
• It was reported that 73 of the schools from
  Lawngtali district and 66 from Saiha district
  reported that food grains supplied to them from
  MDM is of average quality. However, 11 of sample
  schools from Saiha district reported that food
  grains supplied to them were of very poor
  quality.
• Majority of the children are not happy with the
  quantity and quality of food in both the
  districts.
• Community participation in inspection and
  supervision of MDM service in their respective
  schools was almost absent. Participation of the
  concerned CRCCs, BRCCs and district and State
  level authorities in the inspection, monitoring
  and supervision MDM programme in their respective
  jurisdictions is quite discouraging.
• In 56 of sample schools in Saiha district and
  33 from Lawngtlai district do not have proper
  water supply connection.
