9. ISSUE AREAS
ENHANCEMENT OF HONORARIUM TO COOK-CUM-HELPERS AND DEMAND FOR ELEVEN MONTHS HONORARIUM FOR COOK-CUM-HELPERS.
PRESENT HONORARIUM
Rs.1700/- per month (for 10 months in a year)
1) Honorarium for Cook-cum-helpers needs to be enhanced, because present honorarium is too meager. The state is already contributing addiotnal Rs.700/- per cook per month in excess of its own mandatory State share of Rs.400/- per cook per month.
PROPOSED HONORARIUM:
Honorarium to Cook-cum-helper should be minimum Rs.2500/- per month per cook .
Honorarium should be for 11 months because mid day meal is served to students for eleven month in a year except month of June being summer vacations. Morever cook-cum-helpers unions are aslo demanding of honararium for 11 months.

10. ISSUE AREAS Reasons:- ENHANCEMENT OF MME.
At Present MME is 1.8%of the Centre share. It needs to be enhanced from 1.8% to 4% minimum.
Reasons:-
Due to the revised funding pattern the MME share has been reduced by 15% as non-sharing of the State Govt.
2) It is difficult to provide even salaries to the Staff deployed in MDM. The present salaries for the year is Rs crores whereas the total funds available in MME is Rs crores.
3) Due to shortage of funds school level expenditure such as providing soaps, Publicity of the Scheme, Social Audit, external evaluation is not feasible.

ISSUE AREAS

Total Funds Required = 5623 X = Lacs

12. ISSUE AREAS UNIFORMS FOR COOK-CUM-HELPERS

Salwar, Kameez and dupatta Rs. 350/-
Apron and headgear Rs. 100/-
450X2=900X49,449= 44,504,100
The present MME is insufficient to provide funds for uniforms to Cook-cum-helpers. Hence, it is proposed that funds of Rs lakh may be sanctioned.
