Action taken note on the issues raised in PAB - 1. Less Coverage of Children against enrolment - With the introduction of additional nutrition to children i.e. children are provided with eggs/ fruits for 3 days in a week, coverage of children has increased. As per AWP&B 2017-18 the coverage of children is 60% at primary and 56% at upper primary. Now as per AWP&B 2018-19 the coverage of children is 67% at primary and 63% at upper primary, hence overall increase of 7%. Decrease in attendance is being examined and a programme named “PRAYAS” at every school is running to enhance retention by SSA. “VIDYALAYA CHALEIN CHALAYEN ABHIYAN” is also being run every year in the month of April-May. To check fake enrolment all students are being linked with aadhaar. 2. Less coverage of No. of working days – Schools were closed down due to early summer vacation resulting in less coverage of working days. 3. Kitchen cum store – Data for the same will be furnished to GoI seperately after AWP&B. Data reconciliation is in progress at district level. 4. Less health check up under RBSKs – Around 82% of children are covered under RBSKs programme during FY 2017-18.
