15. Issues to be Considered
Commissionerate of Mid Day Meal, Gujarat
Issues to be Considered
Linking transport subsidy with fuel price hike
The figure of transport subsidy should be in proportion to fuel prices i.e. as fuel price increase, there should be proportionate increase in transport subsidy. The actual difference in the transport subsidy borne by the Government of Gujarat due to lower rate of the Government of India is Rs Lacs from April-13 to December-13.
Linking Cooking Cost to food price Inflation Index
As per the present guideline NP-NSPE-2006, the cooking cost is increased by 7.5% every year. There should be proportionate increase in cooking cost in proportion to food inflation index.
Fuel cost presently: Primary: Rs.0.61 (Cooking Cost 3.34) Upper Primary: Rs (5.00)
Proposed fuel cost: Primary: Rs (3.62) Upper Primary: Rs (5.49)
Additional approx. fund requirement: Rs Lakhs
Central component: Rs Lakhs, State: Lakhs

16. Revision of the norm for Kitchen Devices
As per the MDM guideline an amount of Rs.5000 is admissible for
kitchen devices. But it should be increased to Rs.8000 taking into
increase in raw material price.
Supplying MDM in rural area through NGO
The guideline permits for the supply of MDM in urban area through
NGO. The policy may be revised to include the rural area in light of
increased Road transport facility and faster vehicles.
Supplement like Sukhdi for increasing consumption of grain:
It is observed that the children can not consume the full quantity of food grain 100 gm (primary) and 150 gm (upper primary) consumed at a time hence an additional supplement like Sukhadi is suggested.

17. Additional requirement of pulse
Improving norm for protein
The protein content from the present daily allowable quantities (in gms) of grain and pulse for primary and upper primary are as under:
Deletion of the word poor
It is suggested that the word “poor” should be removed from the
guideline (Chapter- 1, para 1.7) and Para II of draft guideline
to avoid perception of people - “the scheme for poor children”
