Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India Review of Implementation of MDMS in Delhi (Primary + Upper Primary) (1.4.2013 to 31.12.2013) Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India

Issues Coordination amongst different departments/organizations – DOE, MCDs, NDMC and DCB. No record/document provided by the Centralized Kitchen to JRM / Inspection team. No information on utilization of funds towards use of LPG cylinders. Correct data on engagement of Cook-cum-helpers against PAB approval. Cook-cum-helpers are not engaged as per the norms in schools (M I report). Coverage of children is going down consistently. 62% of enrolled children availed meal in 2013-14. Out of a sample of 498 children, 51.6% were malnourished (JRM). About 65% of the children informed that quantity of food served was not sufficient (M I report).

Issues Negative balance of foodgrains with Centralized Kitchens. Difference in the number of children availed MDM as shown in register vis-à-vis head count in the range of 6% – 16% (M I report). 85% schools prepared meal card on attendance basis rather than actual consumption (M I report). Data entry has not been completed for annual and monthly data in MDM-MIS. (only 68% annual data entry and 60% monthly data entry). Major problem of data entry is in DOE schools.

Issues Health checkup has been done for only 60% of the enrolled children, vitamin A dosage distributed to only 52% children and De-worming tablets have been distributed to only 31% children. Non display of MDM logo and entitlements. Almost nil community participation in the scheme as per the available records and teachers perception (Review Mission).
