PROBLEMS & ISSUES. As the prices of all ingredients have gone up, cooking cost for both Pry and UP-pry needs to be increased suitably from the present level of cooking cost. MME of 1.8 % is very meager and at least 6% will suffice its purposes especially for small states. Honorarium of CCH needs to be increased from the present level of Rs. 1000/* to at least Rs.1500/- Kitchen sheds released @ Rs.60,000/- during 2006-07 are in dilapidated condition needs immediate repair/re- construction.
