Central Assistance in respect of other components should also be released at the most in two installments. Due to traffic congestion, it takes 1-2 hours to supply Mid Day Meal to some schools. Kitchens are not evenly located in different areas of Delhi. Helpers for distribution have to be arranged at school level.
