FUND FLOW CHART 18

Problems and Constraints Absence of formal village Governance structures (e.g. Panchayats) and lukewarm community participation Inhospitable climate and difficult terrain Inadequate infrastructure (electricity, water access, etc.) at the school level. Irregular Fund Flow e.g Cooking cost takes a long time to reach the school Construction of kitchen sheds delayed during the summer months. SMCs takes a long time to appoint cooks-cum- helpers due to low honorarium. 19

Features of AWP&B Formulation The exercise of bottom-up approach starting from the school level has been followed. Trainings have been conducted for all the Districts/Sub- Divisional Officers and their inspecting staff to familiarise them with the various steps required for the preparation of the AWP&B The Districts /Sub-Divisional Officers have been clearly instructed to base all their data by taking into consideration all the records of implementation maintained by the schools as per relevant proforma prescribed by the State. 20

The major findings of the Monitoring Institution(NEHU) have been taken into account, i.e, Schools not covered by ICDS centres, MDM is being served. The DCs and their entire supply machinery have been fully involved. The FNB have been approached for designing of MDM Menu. Under NRHM school health programme is in full swing. Progress of Construction of kitchen sheds is being closely monitored. Gas Based cooking in schools has not been introduced. 21 Features of AWP&B Formulation Contd…
