Issues

• As per RTE Act 2009 u/s 19 and schedule thereof clause 2 – building – a kitchen is required where mid day meal is cooked in the schools. National Food Security Act 2013 u/s 5 (b) mid day meal scheme is included. Section 5(2) provides centralised kitchens.

• Therefore in urban area where meal is cooked and supplied by Centralised kitchen, such school does not require kitchen cum store. So no proposal for kitchen cum store.

Issues

• National Food Security Act 2013 u/s 5 (b) mid day meal scheme is applicable to local body schools, Govt. schools, and Govt. aided schools. Therefore students admitted under 25% quota to disadvantaged and weaker section in private un-aided schools as per RTE Act u/s 12 (1)(c) are not covered for mid day meal.

Issues

• Food Safety and Standard Act 2006 (Rules 2011) provides requirement of License for food business operator if turn over exceeds 12 lakhs and registration if turn over less than 12 lakh. In mid day meal where centralised kitchen are working no issue of FSSS act. But in school where mid day meal is cooked – whether license/registration (as case may be) required ? Specific guidelines required to be issued by Govt. of India.

Issues• Kitchen Devices be provided as per the number

of Students in the school. Existing norms of Rs. 5000 per school is very less to meet requirement for kitchen devices.

• MHRD may provide one time grants for providing LPG connection in all schools.

• Regarding the Separate Mid day meal Cell -

specific sanction as proposed in AWP&B 2014-15, be given in PAB minutes by Govt. of India.

Once Meal is lost.....lost forever....
