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
28
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
29
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. Vidyalaya
  under Taherpur in 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.

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.

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
32
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.
