3. Best Practices
MDM is served to children of class IX to XII including Pre-Primary- UT funds
Free Uniforms, Textbooks, Cycles, Transport facilities (Free Bus) and Stationery materials for the Students from I to XII Standard from UT resources.
Break Fast scheme – 100 ml Hot milk to all children every day from UT funds – Rs lakh
Eggs- thrice a week under MDMS from UT Budget- Rs lakhs
Additional Contribution in cooking cost - Rs for primary and Rs for upper primary over and above Mandatory UT share
Honorarium to Cook-cum-helpers ranging from Rs to Rs 19000/- per month .
Central Procurement system - Agmark quality of diet articles through Co-operative institutions / Govt. undertakings by limited tender system
100% LPG used as source of Fuel for Preparing MDM.
Food is prepared in Modernized central kitchens & cluster kitchens in a hygienic atmosphere.
Installation of RO system in all 431 schools to provide safe drinking water.
Regular testing of Food Samples by reputed labs. All samples reported to be satisfactory

4. ISSUES
Low Coverage of Children in Karaikal in Upper Primary Stage (68%) under MDMS.
Utilization of MME is very Low ( 6%)
Social Audit under MDMS yet to be conducted.
On 20th April 2018, out of 416 schools, Only 272 schools reported on AMS portal.
Mismatch in data of AWP&B and MDM-MIS on engagement and payment of Honorarium to Cook cum helpers.

5. Innovations etc.
It is proposed that the States and UTs may also be given flexibility to utilize, with prior approval of MHRD, 5% of their Annual Work Plan & Budget for new interventions provided they are not included under any of the Central or State Schemes and there is no overlapping of activities. This is subject to CCEA approval.
Some of the suggested innovation may be in the field of Water filters, kitchen gardens, provision of LPG connections, use of millets etc. These are only illustrative and not exhaustive.
