Issues of JRM 1. Delay in payment of cooking cost to the schools.

2. Delay in payment of Honorarium to Cook cum helpers.

3. The weekly menu of Mid-day Meal does not comply with the national provisions of food grains and pulses.

4. Variation in quality of the food grain stored in FCI Godown, godown of Transport agency and storage of Annapurna Samiti.

5. Akhaya Patra and Annapurana Mahila Sahakari Samiti are not functioning as per MoU.

6. Convergence with Schools health program needs to be improved.

7. Raw food grains and vegetables items are invariably not weighed.

8. Record of raw food items given to cooks is not properly maintained.

9. Variation in raw weights of food items reported by the teacher (MDM in charge) and by cooks with former reporting higher amounts based

on provision norms.

10. Records are not maintained for number of children present and actual MDM availed in the some of the visited schools.

11. Cooking and washing area was found to be swampy and unhygienic in some of the visited schools.

12. Non display of MDM Logo and entitlement of the children for public awareness in most of the visited schools.

13. No water testing conducted at the school level.

14. Poor health condition of cook-cum-helpers.

15. Record maintenance at school needs more attention.16.

1) Honorarium to Cooks: there are huge delays in payment of

honorarium. JRM recommended that passbooks should be issued to the cook-cum-helpers and payment to be made through E-transfer to cut delays.

2) Cooking Cost: Joint Review mission observed that there was a delay of 02 months approximately in payment of cooking cost in both the districts. State government has implemented the E-transfer of the funds from Block to schools, but the delay is still observed in transferring the fund from district to block.

3) Inspection and monitoring of Transport agency`s godown:JRM recommends the regular inspection and monitoring of the storage of the Transport agency`s godown at district and block level.

4) Kitchen-cum-stores should be constructed on top priority:In large number of schools kitchens are not available. Cooking is done in class rooms and because of lack of stores the provisions are kept in different places. In some cases provisions are kept in class rooms and in some other places in office of the HM. The constructed kitchens are also not uniform. Some are in tin sheds and others are very small

5) Containers for cooking materials be provided.6) Usage of Agmark certified ingredients especially cooking oil:
