National Programme of Nutritional Support to
Primary Education Mid Day Meal Scheme Status
Report

• The centrally sponsored scheme of National
  Programme of Nutritional support to Primary
  Education popularly known as Mid day Meal Scheme
  for Primary Eduction was launched in the State of
  Goa on 15th August, 1995. The major objective of
  the scheme was to ensure Universalization of
  Primary Education and provide nutritional support
  to a valuable age group.
• The said scheme was initially restricted to rural
  areas and was implemented in 3 talukas i.e.,
  Tiswadi, Salcete and Mormugao. 3 kg. of raw rice
  was provided to each student. However, from the
  year 1998-1999, the scheme was extended to all
  govt. and govt. aided Primary Schools and covered
  all the 11 talukas of the State. This scheme was
  in operation till December 2001. However, the
  Supreme Court order dated 28.1.2001 in respect of
  the Writ Petition (Civil) No. 196/2001 ordered
  that the Mid day Meal Scheme be implemented by
  providing hot cooked food in place of food grains.

16

• The State of Goa speculated upon the extensive
  spread of Primary Schools in the State and the
  school timings which are from 8.00 a.m. to 1.00
  p.m. In view of the fact that the students reach
  home during lunch time, it was decided to provide
  pre-cooked with a shelf life of around 10 to 15
  days instead of hot cooked food. From 2003-04,
  100 gms. Of pre-cooked food of food value of 300
  calories and 8-12 gms of proteins was provided to
  each student. Food items such as shanker pali,
  kadi ladu, kachori, groundnut chikki, parle
  glucose biscuits were served. The work for supply
  of pre-cooked food items was entrusted to Self
  Help Group/Mahila Mandals. The transportation and
  distribution of food items to every primary
  school of each of the talukas was made by the
  Self Help Groups. And amount of Rs. 250 lakhs was
  earmarked for the financial year 2003-2004. An
  amount of Rs. 73.20 lakhs was spend on the scheme
  during the year 2003-04.

17

• Following, the order of the Supreme Court dated
  20.4.2004 the scheme was modified to provide hot
  cooked food. As per the modified scheme, the
  effect from 2005-06 the school children are
  supplied with food items such aas Shira, Upama,
  Poha, Khichidi, Bhaji Pav, Vegetable Pulao, etc.
  An amount of Rs. 300.00 lakhs earmarked for the
  financial year 2004-2005. The construction of
  standard and hygenic cooking centres was
  initiated on priority basis through Goa State
  Infrastructure Development Corporation and 2
  kitchen sheds in Sattari taluka were constructed.
  However, the Self Help Groups supplying the food
  prefer to cook Mid day Meals in their own
  premises. Hence, further construction of kitchen
  shed were not taken up.
• During the financial year 2005 - 06 an amount of
  Rs. 387.57 lakhs have been paid to 29 Self Help
  Groups to provide cooked food to schools in 11
  talukas. For the purpose of convenience and
  smooth functioning of the scheme, each taluka is
  divided into clusters having 15 to 20 schools
  with the strength of approximately 600 to 1000
  students. The total number of clusters are 59.

18

• During the academic year 2006-2007 Mid Day Meal
  Scheme has been implemented in the State by
  providing hot cooked food to the primary children
  of all government and government aided schools in
  the State. Each student is served 100 grams of
  cooked food per day containing 300 calories
  carbohydrates and proteins of around 8-12 grams.
  Codal formalities were followed and tenders were
  invited from registered Self Help Groups
  possessing D.F.D.A. license and had proper
  cooking and transport facilities. In all 29 SHGs
  were appointed for 11 talukas of the State. For
  the schools that function between 8.00 a.m. and
  1.15 p.m. the food is served during the recess at
  10.15 a.m. and for the schools that function
  between 1.15 p.m. to 5.45 p.m. the food is served
  at 3.15 p.m.

• For the monitoring and implementation of Mid Day
  Meal Scheme smoothly, State/District level/Block
  level/ and School level Steering and Monitoring
  committees have been constituted by the
  government. State Nodal Officer has been
  appointed to monitor the scheme. A.D.E.I.s of
  each of the talukas and Adult Education
  Supervisors posted in the taluka office are
  appointed as the taluka level nodal officers each
  of whom are required to visit at least 5 schools
  every day to supervise the scheme and to submit a
  monthly report to the respective A.D.E.I. In
  addition, other officials of the department who
  are on inspection of schools have been asked to
  check the Mid Day Meal Scheme. Further, in order
  to keep a check on quality control before
  distribution of the meal to the students of each
  school, the meal has to be first checked by a
  team comprising of the Head of the Institution, a
  teacher of the school and a Parent Teacher
  Association member. Only after a meticulous
  scrutiny of the meal, the meal is distributed to
  the students by the respective class teacher.
  Each school puts up list of weekly food items on
  the notice board every week.

21

• The success of the scheme in the state of Goa is
  attributed to many factors. The hygienic
  conditions of the kitchens of the food supplies,
  surprise inspections of the State Nodal Officer,
  the taluka level A.D.E.I.s and the Adult
  Education Supervisors posted at the talukas,
  strict adherence to the guidelines of the scheme
  have all contributed to the success of the scheme.
