 Midday Meal Scheme

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Education plays a vital and important role in fulfilling the basic needs of a common man viz.
food, shelter and clothing. The main aim of Education is to prepare and develop the child
physically, mentally and spiritually to lead a quality life. Various schemes were implemented
in the primary education sector by the Government to reach the disadvantaged population.

Government of India, on Oct 2nd 1995, launched the scheme of National

Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education also known as Mid-Day-Meal
Programme initially in 2408 blocks of the country. By the year 1997-98 the NP-NSPE was
introduced in all blocks of the country. The Midday Meal Scheme is a multi-faceted
programme of the Government of India that among other things, seeks to address issues of
food security, lack of nutrition and access to education on a pan nation scale. It involves
provision for free lunch on working days for children in Primary and Upper Primary Classes
in Government, Government Aided, Local Body, Education Guarantee Scheme (EGS) and
Alternate Innovative Education (AIE) Canters, and Madras supported under Sarva Shiksha
Abhiyan and National Child Labour Project (NCLP) Schools run by Ministry of Labour. The
primary objective of the scheme is to provide hot cooked meal to children of primary and
upper primary classes. With other objectives of improving nutritional status of children,
encouraging poor children, belonging to disadvantaged sections, to attend school more
regularly and help them concentrate on classroom activities, thereby increasing the
enrolment, retention and attendance rates According to the government, it is the world’s
largest school feeding programme, reaching out to about 120,000,000 children in over
1,265,000 schools and Education Guarantee Scheme (EGS) canters across the country.

Under this scheme, students of Primary classes were to be provided wheat @

3 kg per student per month (for 10 months in a year) subject to 80% attendance. Meanwhile,
the apex court also intervened and vide its orders dated 28th November, 2001 the Supreme
Court directed to the State Government/Union Territories to implement the Mid-Day-Meal
scheme by providing every child in every Government and Government Assisted primary
schools with a prepared Mid-Day-Meal with minimum contents of 300 calories of energy and
8-12 grams of protein each day of school for a minimum of 200 days.

7
 Midday Meal Scheme

The Mid Day Meal is the worlds largest school feeding programme reaching out to about 12
crore children in over 12.65 lakh schools/EGS centres across the country. History it was first
started in 1925 for the disadvantageous children in Madras Municipal Corporation. By the
mid 1980s three States viz. Gujarat, Kerala and Tamil Nadu and the UT of Pondicherry had
universalized a cooked Mid Day Meal Programme with their own resources. By 1990-91 the
number of States implementing the mid day meal programme was increased to 12

1.2 Objectives of Midday meal Scheme

The objectives of the mid day meal scheme are:

 Improving the nutritional status of children in classes’ I-V in Government, Local

Body and Government aided schools, and EGS and AIE centres.
 Encouraging poor children, belonging to disadvantaged sections, to attend school
more regularly and help them concentrate on classroom activities.
 Providing nutritional support to children of primary stage in drought affected areas
during summer vacation.

1.3 Midday meal scheme in Punjab

In Punjab Midday meal Scheme was also launched in 1995 Students of Government Primary schools
were provided wheat at the rate of 3 kg per student/ per month and switched over to cooked meal
in one block of every district in 2002-03. Punjab has bagged the second position in implementing the
midday meal scheme across the country.

Under the scheme, about two million students were covered during the
current financial year, which include 13,723 primary schools and 6,656 upper-primary
schools of the State. The government had allocated Rs 275.81 crore under the Mid-Day Meal
scheme for cooking cost, food grain and honorarium to cook-cum-helper and management.

8
 Midday Meal Scheme

About Rs 8.60 crore was provided for utensils in all government and government-aided
schools of the state. The scheme was being implemented efficiently in schools and students
were being provided with a balanced diet in all the primary and upper primary schools.

1.4 Management Structure

Midday meal Scheme in state is implemented under overall supervision of The
Chief secretary, Punjab .School Education Department has been declared Nodal Agency for
the implementation of the schemes in the schools, which is headed by the secretary School
Education and is looked after by the Director General School education at the state level.
Under his control a separate Midday meal cell has been constituted at the state level with
General Manager and four Managers. They are assisted by one Accountant and four Data
entry Operators. At the District level one District manager has been posted in each District
assisted by one Accountant and one Data entry Operator. One assistant Block Manager has
been posted in each Block to Implement and supervise the Midday meal scheme at School
level.

In case of Micro nutrients (Vitamin A and Iron-Folate) tablets and de-worming medicines,
irrespective of the Primary or Upper Primary, the student's entitlement is in convergence with
school health programme of NRHM.

1.6 Finances

The cost of the MDMS is shared between the central and state governments .At present 75
percent of the scheme is funded by the central government whereas 25 percent of the funds
are provided by the state government. The central government provides free food grains to
the states. The cost of cooking, infrastructure development, transportation of food grains and
payment of honorarium to cooks and helpers is shared by the centre with the state
governments. The contribution of state governments to the scheme differs from state to state.
For example Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu state governments contribute about one rupee
per child per day towards cooking costs, in addition to the contribution of the Central
Government. As per MDM Guidelines 2006, the States/UTs shall not reduce their own
budgetary allocation for MDM programme in any year below the level of BE 2005-06. While
the 11th five year plan allocated INR.38, 490, 0000,000 for the scheme, the 12th 5 year plan

9
 Midday Meal Scheme

has allocated INR .90, 1550,000,000, indicating nearly 134 percent rise in the money
allocated. The public expenditure on Mid Day Meal Programme as expressed in the
budgetary allocation for the scheme has gone up from Rs. 73,240,000,000 in 2007-08 to Rs.
132,150,000,000 in the year 2013-14.

1.8 Scams and the issue of accountability

Various scams involving Midday Meal Scheme have been unearthed since it was started.

In January 2006, the Delhi Police unearthed a scam in the Midday Meal Scheme. In
December 2005, the police had seized eight truckloads (2,760 sacks) of rice meant for
primary schoolchildren being carried from Food Corporation of India (FCI) godowns in
Bulandshahr District of UP to North Delhi. When the police detained the trucks, the drivers
claimed that the rice was being brought all the way to Delhi to be cleaned at a factory.
However, according to the guidelines, the rice has to be taken directly from FCI godown to
the school or village concerned. Later it was found that the rice was being siphoned off by a
UP-based NGO, in connivance with the government officials In November 2006, the
residents of Pembong village under the Mim tea estate (around 30 km from Darjeeling),
accused a group of teachers of embezzling midday meals. In a written complaint, the
residents claimed that students at the primary school had not got midday meal for the past 18
months.

In December 2006, The Times of India reported a scam involving government schools that
siphon off food grains under the midday meal scheme by faking attendance. The modus
operandi of the schools was simple — the attendance register would exaggerate the number
of students enrolled in the class. The additional students would not exist—they were
"enrolled" to get additional food grains which were pocketed by the school staff.

10
 Midday Meal Scheme

The scam was exposed, when an assistant teacher at a government model primary school
acted as a whistleblower. She informed the Lok Ayukta, who conducted a probe and indicted
four persons for misappropriation. The whistleblower was harassed by the school staff and
transferred, where she again found the same modus operandi being used to siphon off the
food grains. She again complained to the Lok Ayukta, who issued notice to the school.

Serious concerns were raised after the death of 23 children in Bihar on 16 July 2013 after
eating pesticide contaminated mid day meal served in Dharma Sati village in Saran District
on . The scheme which costs the national exchequer a huge amount of money every year (the
budgetary provisions for the year 2013-14 was around Rs 132,150,000,000 for the country) is
marred with corrupt practices and mismanagement while risking the lives of children. On 31
July 2013, around 55 students of a government middle school complained of uneasiness after
consuming the midday meal provided by an NGO at Kalyuga village in Jamui district and in
Arwal district, 95 students of the Chamandi primary school were taken ill after the meal.
While the Bihar MDM tragedy has again highlighted the issue of accountability of officials
responsible for the mismanagement of the scheme, in many parts of the country, the MDM
scheme still remains a major attraction of children from poorer sections of the country as a
reward for attending schools.

1.9 Criticism on Dry Rations

The experience of dry rations and biscuits which were part of the NSPE has shown that these
were often not consumed by children and though they did push up enrolment it had little
impact on attendance and retention levels. The nutritional impact of dry rations is likely to be
lower when compared to a cooked meal. While the freshly cooked meal offers a better range
of nutrients, the packaged food on the other hand is costlier in terms of per rupee nutrient
yield Biscuits are processed foods that are low on fibre and high on trans fatrans fatty acids,
which are seen as an important long-term risk factor for a range of emerging diseases like
coronary heart disease and diabetes In MDM the evidence suggests that children often take
the dry rations home and may or may not eat it later, and in contexts of poverty, this food
often gets shared by the family. Moreover , the dry rations lack the socialisation value which
the MDM scheme provide, whose long term benefits can be seen in caste and class barriers
breaking down.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

A Laxmaiah, K V Sarma, conducted a study on Impact of mid day meal

program on educational and nutritional status of school children in Karnataka. OBJECTIVE:
They assessed the effect of the Mid Day Meal (MDM) Program on enrollment, attendance,
dropout rate and retention rate in the schools and its impact on nutritional status as well as on
school performance. DESIGN: Comparison by multistage random sampling. SUBJECTS:
Primary school children, who were attending the school in the MDM and non-MDM areas.
RESULTS: A total of 2,694 children (MDM: 1361; Non-MDM: 1333) from 60 schools were
covered in the study. Results of the study indicated better enrollment (p<0.05) and attendance
(p<0.001), higher retention rate with reduced dropout rate (p<0.001) a marginally higher
scholastic performance and marginally higher growth performance of MDM children.
CONCLUSION: MDM program was associated with a better educational and nutritional
status of school children in Karnataka.

Julia Blue Conducted a study in Udaipur district .OBJECTIVES He studied to know an

assessment of program implementation and impact in Udaipur district. METHODS OF
DATA COLLECTION: He used the primary data collection method. RESULTS: The study’s
findings thus indicate that the Mid-Day Meals Scheme had some impact on enrollment and
attendance in Udaipur district, but that this effect had been uneven across age groups and
communities. The school meals likely boosted the enrollment and attendance of the youngest
primary school children, but their ability to affect the attendance and retention of older
students was questionable. In addition, interview respondents reported the greatest impact
from the mid-day meals in the most impoverished communities covered by the study. The
objective of the Mid-Day Meals Scheme is to improve child nutrition as well as school
attendance, yet approximately half of the parents interviewed reported that their children eat
less at home as a result of the school meals
