Best Practices Payment of honorarium to CCH directly to their bank account from zonal level Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India

ISSUES Delay in release of funds from State to School level. Less coverage of working days (166 out of 180 in Primary and Upper Primary and 174 out of 234 in NCLP). Only 44% payment of bills to FCI. Construction of kitchen-cum-stores (60%). Not a single kitchen-cum-store is constructed during 2013-14 Huge mismatch in utilization of food grains and cooking cost in districts like Reasi (-21%), Rajouri (-16%), Srinagar (23%), Pulwama (30%) and Kargil (19%). Negative closing balance of cooking cost and funds for honorarium to cook-cum-helpers at end of 3rd quarter. Only 29% MME utilized and 39% of the institutions inspected by the officials during the year. Slow progress in data entry into MIS portal (58% for December, 2013). Poor coverage under School Health Programme (only 11% of enrolled children screened). No medical emergency/contingency plan in case of any untoward incident.
