Sir,
I am directed to inform that the rate of Cooking Cost per child per school day as provided by the Central Government and State Government (under 60:40) has been revised with effect from 1st July, 2016, in the following manner:
| Stage | Total Cost Per Meal | Contribution Central | Contribution State |
| Primary (Class I to V) | Rs.4.13 | Rs.2.48 | Re. 1.65 |
| Upper Primary (Class VI to VIII) | Rs.6.18 | Rs.3.71 | Rs.2.47 |

All the Nodal Officers of Mid-Day Meal Scheme are requested to take necessary action so that the revised rate of Cooking Cost takes effect from 1st July, 2016 positively. Cooking Cost will be allowed to schools on the basis of actual average attendance of children.
In this connection, it may be stated that the quantity of rice for Primary schools per child per school day is 100 gms. and 150 gms. for Upper Primary schools and STC.
This may be circulated to all concerned including schools.
