History Of Mid Day
Meal Programme in
Mid day meal school
has had along history in
NUTRITION AND EDUCATION WITH MDM
There is also
evidence to suggest that apart 
from enhancing school attendance 
and child nutrition mid day meal have an important social value
and foster equality. As children learn to sit together and share a common meal,
one can expect some erosion of caste structures often mean that girls are much
more affected by hunger that boy. Thus the mid day meal programme can also
reduce that gender gap in education, since it enhances female school
attendance.
It is incontrovertible fact that school meal programme exert a positive influence on enrolment and attendance in school. A hungry child is less to attend school regularly.Hunger drain them of their will and ability to learn chronic hunger can lead to malnutrition . Chronic hunger also delays or stop the physical and mental growth of children. Poor or in sufficient nutrition over time means that children are to small for their age, and susceptible to diseases like measles or dysentery, which can kill malnourished children. Malnutrition adversely affects universalization of elementary education. Even if a malnourished child attend school, she finds it difficult to concentrate on and participate in the teaching-learning activities in school.Unable to cope she would out. Some details in regard to major nutritional deficiencies, and their incidence among children of elementary school-going age group.

Guidelines
Specific
Guidelines to ensure Regular, Un-interrupted
provision of Cooked Meal of Good Quality :-
It is absolutely vital to ensure that children in every eligible
primary school/EGS-AIE Centre get a cooked meal of satisfactory
quality, on every school-day, without any interruption. To ensure this in
thousands of primary schools and EGS-AIE Centres scattered across a State is a
challenging task. State Governments/UT Administrations will have to
develop and circulate detailed guidelines to ensure this.
Some common obstacles which may come in the way of regular supply of cooked
mid-day meal are:-
Delay in flow of
monetary assistance from the Centre to the States (e.g. due to late or
defective submission of claim or other procedural delays), - Irregular supply of
food grains from FCI godown or interruption in their timely transportation
to schools,
- Failure of the local
implementation agency to adequately procure and stock up cooking
ingredients
- Absence of cook for
any reason, etc
Programme
will have to be so implemented as to take care of all the above (and any other)
contingencies. As regards the first point mentioned above, State
Governments will have to make adequate provision for the programe in their
annual budget, in anticipation of actual flow of Central assistance . It
must be understood that Central assistance as per norms and will get
transferred in due course.
However, if for any reason, there is some delay in its actual transfer, that
must not be allowed to interrupt actual provision of cooked mid-day meal to
children. Similarly, State-specific guidelines will be necessary
regarding precautions to be taken, and alternative/back-up arrangements to be
made to ensure that any other contingencies are not allowed to interrupt the
programme.
Need for Safety and Hygiene in Preparation
of Mid-Day Meal :-
State Governments will be expected to ensure
that Mid-Day Meal programme is implemented with utmost regard to safety and
hygiene. Towards this end, special attention would need to be paid, inter
alia, to the following aspects:-
- Kitchen/Kitchen Shed
should be separate from classrooms, should be located as far away from
classrooms as possible, and should always be kept clean. It should
preferably have a raised platform for cooking, and should have adequate
light, ventilation and arrangement for drainage/waste disposal.
- Fuel (kerosene/fuel
wood/charcoal/LPG) should be stored safely, so that there is no fire
hazard.
- Smokeless chulhas
should be used to the extent possible.
- Use of firewood
should be discouraged as far as possible in the interest of environmental
protection.
- If cooking is done
with kerosene/gas, cooking staff /agency should be specifically trained in
safe handling of stoves, gas cylinders, etc.
- All ingredients used
for cooking (i.e. food grains, pulses, vegetables, cooking oil and
condiments) should be free from adulteration and pest infestation, and
should be used only after proper cleaning, washing, etc.
- All the above
ingredients should be stored in proper containers, which should protect
them from moisture, pests, etc.
- All persons engaged
in handling of ingredients, and in cooking and serving the mid-day meal
should be trained in hygienic habits [e.g. regular cutting of nails,
washing hands and feet with soap before commencement of cooking/serving,
etc],
- All cooking and
serving utensils should be properly cleaned and dried every day after
use.
Mid-Day Meal not to adversely affect teaching-learning
It has to be always borne in mind that Mid-Day Meal programme is
meant to boost children's participation and learning at the primary stage, and
not to interfere with it. The programme should not be implemented in such
a manner that it, in any way, adversely effects either the duration or quality
of actual teaching-learning in school. As a corollary, teachers should
not be assigned responsibility connected with the programme except the
following:-
- Testing of food prior
to being served to children with a view to ensuring that it is of good
quality, and is wholesome, and
- Supervision of actual
serving and consumption of the mid-day meal so that it is done in an
orderly manner, and children consume their meal hygienically.
VECs/PTAs should make arrangements so that, as far as
possible, at least two of their members are present everyday at the time of the
meal, to shoulder above responsibilities, along with the teachers.
The mid-day meal should be so organized that the entire process of serving and
consumption of the meal does not take more than 30-40 minutes.
Mid-Day Meal to be wholesome and varied :-
Menu of the mid-day meal should, as far as possible, vary from
day-to-day. It is possible to plan an economical, yet varied and nutritious
menu, and this must be done in consultation with the local community, mothers,
PTA, women's Self-Help Group, as also nutrition experts like staff of Home
Science Colleges and officers of Food & Nutrition Board of the Government
of India posted in the State/UT. Menus should be planned in a suitably
decentralized manner.
Voluntary Community Support for Mid-Day Meal
to be encouraged :-
Members
of the community should be encouraged and invited to contribute towards
providing a wholesome meal to children. There are many social occasions
like religious festivals, marriages, etc. when local families will be happy to
contribute a special dish or a sweet to the school Mid-Day Meal
programme. This, as also other voluntary contributions from the community
(say, in the form of cooking device/cooker, utensils, dairy products, fruits,
vegetables, etc.) should be encouraged.
Mid-Day Meal to be used as a vehicle for
inculcation of hygienic habits, discipline, and spirit of equality among
children, as also for providing them work experience
Apart from hygienic processing of ingredients and cooking of
meal, it is important that children themselves are trained to eat their meal
hygienically. For this, they must be encouraged to develop habits
like:-
- Washing their hands
with soap before eating,
- Cutting their nails
regularly
- Using clean utensils
for eating,
- Avoiding
littering and wastage of food
- Cleaning their plate
and rinsing their hands and mouth after eating.
Organisation
of serving and eating of mid-day meal in an orderly and efficient manner is a
substantial task. Children should be trained to form queues, wait
patiently for their turn, chew their food properly, and clean up after they
have eaten. Disabled children should be given precedence in queues, and
should also be otherwise helped to the extent necessary.
The mid-day meal programme is also meant to be a vehicle for inculcating social
equality among children. There should not be any discrimination and
segregation of any sort – on community or other basis – in
serving/consumption of the meal. It should be utilized as an opportunity
to instil in children values of equality, cooperation and discipline.
Wherever possible, Schools should develop a farm or kitchen garden for growing
food articles which are used in preparation of Mid-Day Meal. This and other
activities connected with Mid-Day Meal (eg. account-keeping) should also be
utilised for providing work experience to children. Older children should also
be involved in orderly distribution and consumption of the mid-day meal.
Mid-Day Meal
to be used for Micronutrient Supplementation and De-worming :-
The
mid-day meal programme should also be utilized for appropriate interventions
relating to micronutrient supplementation and de-worming, e.g.
- Administration of six
monthly dose for de-worming and Vitamin-A supplementation.
- Administration of
weekly Iron and Folic-Acid supplement
- Other appropriate supplementation depending on
common deficiencies found in the local area.
State Governments are expected to issue detailed guidelines in this behalf.
Technical
advice and doses for the above may be obtained by Schools from the nearest
Primary Health Centre/Government Hospital, and may be funded from appropriate
schemes of the Health Department, or the School Health Programme of the State
Government – unless a State Government is able to provide funds for this from
its own resources under the Mid-Day Meal Programme itself.
Regular Monitoring of Programme
Implementation and its Impact :-
The
Mid-Day Meal Programme would need to be monitored in two ways, namely:-
- How well the
programme is being implemented (i.e. in terms of all children regularly
getting a meal of satisfactory quality),
- What effect, if any,
the programme is having in terms of improving children's :-
- Nutritional
status
- Regularity of
attendance, and
- Retention in and
Completion of Primary Education.
The above two sets of parameters may be called
“Programme Parameters” and “Impact Parameters”, respectively. These parameters
will be expected to be monitored in the following manner:
