Continued… Participations of the Govt. Particularly the cooks appointed by SHGs who are mostly the mothers of the children studying in that very school. Cooking and serving by them the Mid Day Meal is a very good practice. It has enforced the accountability of Parents and teachers towards society to impart quality education to students. In some of the places, the members of SHGs and students have been motivated to produce the vegetables by making use of available land in the schools effectively. This will not only make the model self sustainable but would also inculcate the habit of self reliance amongst the SHGs and students. All schools in the State have been provided with Thali and Spoon therefore, children do not have to carry their tiffins/ bowl to the school as they have been provided Thali and Spoon in the school.
