Issues The VAT at 1% on food grains is presently paid by the State. This may be met by MHRD. Cooking cost @ Rs 5.08 per student in LP School and Rs.6.24 per student in UP School is proving to be insufficient at present cost & inflation. The cost of transportation is rising month after month due to hike in diesel price as against Rs 750 per tonne State is providing Rs 2150 to Civil Supplies Corporation The State is paying Rs 40,000 + Festival Allowance of Rs 800 per cook in a year as against Rs 750 per month approved by MHRD
