Sir, as primary teachers we are facing more problems at present regarding Mid day meal. As per direction of our Hon’ble Supreme Court the Mid day meal program has been introduce a few years ago. Indeed it is justified but the allotment for the said purpose very poor. I think nobody can able to arrange MDM @ Rs. 3.17/- per student. we get Rs. 3.17/-per student only 85% students,. Some of pre -primary students come regularly. We can’t able to ignore those students from our humanity. We get that poor allotments after two- three or four month. Therefore supplier/shopkeeper demand higher rate and supply low quality . Fire wood now Rs. 500-600/- per Q. potato Rs. 8/-per k. pulse 120/-per K. and others so high.
Teachers are compelled to provide their valuable time to run this program than teaching. We are facing more problems day by day. I think no way to maintain any quality of Mid day meal @ Rs. 3.17/-per student at present Market.
Please think about it and give some remedy. No more, take my regards.
