Brief History Prior to 2003, in the State of Goa, 3 kgs of rice was distributed to primary students under the National Programme for Nutrition Support for Primary Education. The first radical shift took place in with the distribution of pre-cooked ready to eat food items such as Kachori, Ladoos, Chakli, Shankar Pali, Biscuits, etc. Further transformation took place following the landmark direction of the Supreme Court of India, which ushered in the distribution of hot cooked meals in the State. As schools functioned for just half the day, unlike the situation in other parts of India, this was experimented upon in some backward Talukas from September,

Brief History …… ……contd. From the academic year , the major thrust of the scheme was the coverage of all the children in government and government aided primary schools under MDMS. All the children of Govt. and Govt. aided primary schools were served with hot cooked food during their interval session which consists of Bhaji Pao, Vegetable Pulao, Shira, Pohe, Upama & Moong Bhaji Pao. For the purpose of smooth implementation of MDM, the Taluka Primary Schools are classified into clusters. Each cluster have schools with the strength of approximately 800 to 1500 students. 7

Brief History …… ……contd To serve the MDM to the children, the services of local Self Help Groups, which mainly include women, are availed for the cooking and distribution of meals such as Vegetable Pulao, Sheera and Pao Bhaji. The tenders were invited Taluka-wise from the local Self Help Groups to serve the hot cooked food to the children of the schools from the year However this system of tendering was done away from the academic year because each Taluka rates quoted per meal were differing and affecting the quality of meal served. 8

Brief History …… ……contd Applications were invited from the Self Help Groups of the specific Taluka who are having the :- –Group registration certificate under Societies Registration act 1860 –Valid license for kitchen from Directorate of Food & Drugs Administration –Residence Certificate of 15 Years of two members of group issued by competent authority. –Infrastructure & past experience. 9

Brief History …… ……contd Accordingly 85 Self Help Groups are awarded the contract order to supply the MDM to the schools. As on today there are 82 Self Help Groups supplying Mid Day Meals in all the 12 Talukas of the State. 02 Self Help Groups namely Vighnaharta, Shantadurga Kunkolikarin, who failed to maintain the hygienic condition of the food and served contaminated food were discontinued as per the agreement terms. On thorough investigation, it was found that complaints were more of internal rivalry than food poisoning. 10

Problems Faced The internal fights amongst the members of the Self Help Group/Mahila Mandals. Non-submission of bills by the Self Help Group on timely basis, thereby delaying utilization of funds. Minor complaints from the schools with respect to quantity and quality of food served. 11

Directorate of civil supplies at time refuse to accept the food grains of Mid Day Meal in their Taluka civil supplies godowns. Under MME, the Directorate of Education is supposed to carry out various activities such as appointments of Nutrition Officers, Data Entry Operators and transportation to the MDM Officials, which is usually objected by the state finance department. Hence the Central Grant remains unused. 12 Problems Faced
