Introduction of Public Finance Management System (PFMS) for monitoring and fund flow of MDM Scheme.
The release of funds is presently done through treasury operation and it causes delay in the transfer of funds to the school level. Further the schools have to purchase various items from the open market on cash basis and most of the time shopkeepers refuses to give on credit , which sometime lead to compromise on quality of goods.
The department shall implement the Public Finance Management System(PFMS) in few district/zones on pilot basis in collaboration with ICICI /AXIS banks which shall be replicated in all the districts.
