The inclusion of sweets and dry snacks to make the MDM even more attractive.

Project for Sukhadi planned

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.

Separate proposal is already been sent for the same

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

Suggestion for the same is already been sent to Central Government through mail and letter

Social Audit at School level will promote community participation, ensure convergence and improve management leading transparency and efficiency.

School Management Committee is functioning in all schools for the same.

Issues to be Considered Linking transport subsidy with fuel price hike The figure of transport subsidy should be in proportion to fuel prices

i.e. as fuel price increase, there should be proportionate increase in transport subsidy. The actual difference in the transport subsidy borne by the Government of Gujarat due to lower rate of the Government of India is Rs. 484 Lacs from April-12 to December-12.

Linking cooking cost with rise in the cost of LPG Presently we include fuel charge into the cooking cost but it should be

separated from cooking cost because LPG connection have been released/ being released to all MDM centers and LPG price depends on international market rate which shows frequent fluctuations which in turn affects the cooking cost. Cooking cost should be as per actual cost of commercial connection of LPG fixed by PSU.

Linking Cooking Cost to food price Inflation Index As per the present guideline NP-NSPE-2006, the cooking cost is

increased by 7.5% every year. There should be proportionate increase in cooking cost in proportion to food inflation index.

3434

Revision of the norm for Kitchen Devices As per the MDM guideline an amount of Rs.5000 is admissible for kitchen devices. But it should be increased to Rs.8000 taking into

increase in raw material price.Supplying MDM in rural area through NGO

The guideline permits for the supply of MDM in urban area through NGO. The policy may be revised to include the rural area in light of

increased Road transport facility and faster vehicles.

Supplement like Sukhdi for increasing consumption of grain:It is observed that the children can not consume the full quantity of food grain 100 gm (primary) and 150 gm (upper primary) consumed at a time hence an additional supplement like Sukhadi is suggested from the quantity that is saved

3535

Improving norm for protein The protein content from the present daily allowable quantities (in gms) of

grain and pulse for primary and upper primary are as under:

food Grain Protein Pulse Protein Total protein

Primary 100 8 20 5 13

Upper pri. 150 12 30 7.5 19.5

The current norm of protein should be enhanced through suitable supplement of protein.

Increase in the honorarium for cook

The honorarium of MDM cook cum helper should be increased from present Rs.1000

Deletion of the word poor It is suggested that the word “poor” should be removed from the

guideline (Chapter- 1, para 1.7) and Para 2.2.1.II of draft guideline

to avoid perception of people - “the scheme for poor children”
