Now,students can give feedback on mid-day meals

To ensure quality mid-day meals in the city government schools,feedback forms will be distributed among students,wherein they will be able to give their suggestions or complaints on a monthly basis.

Directions in this regard were given by Home Secretary Ram Niwas to Director of the Public Instruction (schools),Sunil Bhatia,on Thursday,after a surprise inspection of kitchens in some schools. Bhatia was also directed to take up preparation of meals from a centralised kitchen to different places,so that children could be served fresh meals.

Niwas inspected kitchens in Government Model Senior Secondary School,Sector 47-D,being run by NGO Swami Sewa Nand Memorial Institute,New Delhi and the Chandigarh Institute of Hotel Management. He was accompanied by Bhatia and other officials of the Education Department.

The Home Secretary directed Bhatia to take up the issue of dismal quality of rice with the Food Corporation of India. He also checked the stock register and the availability of stock of flour,rice and other items and detected no irregularity. He inspected the kitchen shed for preparation of mid-day meals,which were recently constructed. So far,seven kitchen sheds have been constructed in the city at an estimated cost of Rs 20 lakh each.

The Home Secretary also inspected the meal preparations at CIHM,Sector 42,and found the quality of vegetables satisfactory. He visited the Government School in Sector 56 and interacted with students.
