GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM PLAN

MDM, WEST BENGAL

Grievance redressal mechanism is in place at the State, District Block &

Municipality Levels.

The Committee at Block or Municipality enquires into all complaints

related to the MDM Programme and takes remedial measures within 30

days from the date of receipt of the complaints.

Complaint Boxes are kept at every level. A dedicated telephone number

(033-23596799) has been set up at the State Head Quarters and details of

the same have been shared in the website www.wbsed.gov.in .

277 complaints have been disposed of, out of 286 complaints.

Online Grievance Monitoring system also has been introduced.

INITIATIVES TAKEN IN 2014-15

MDM, WEST BENGAL

Engagement of DEOs at each block (341), Municipality (122), and

Municipal Corporation Level (6) is almost completed.

Allotment has already been given from state exchequer for construction

of dining halls (969) in Jungle-Mahal and Sundarban areas. Besides

above, 942 dining halls have been constructed at different districts with

the help of local administration.

Testing of food samples by West Bengal Public Health Laboratory

(Pastur) has been started in Kolkata district.

Direct fund transfer to the A/cs of Cook–cum–Helpers through Blocks has

been started.

MDM, WEST BENGAL

Baseline Survey on Nutritional Assessment by NNMB (National

Nutrition Monitoring Bureau West Bengal Unit) has been done.

Kitchen gardens are being developed in schools where space is available.

At present 1594 no. of Kitchen gardens have been developed at school

level.

It has been decided to engage one Monitoring Institute in each district so

that the monitoring mechanism becomes vibrant.

Use of AGMARK packaged oil & iodized salt in preparation of Mid-Day-

Meals are maintained.

INITIATIVES TAKEN IN 2014-15

GOOD PRACTICES FOLLOWED IN STATE

MDM, WEST BENGAL

A residential training of Cook Cum Helpers has been done at IHM, Taratala.

Recently Hooghly District has completed training of 2700 Cook cum-

helpers and 1000 teachers involved in CMDMP.

Arrangement of Hand washing before and after meal has been made in

each and every school.

State Government has allowed Rs. 500/- as additional honorarium per

month per Cook cum helper since October, 2013.

Posts of MIS-coordinators dedicated for MDM at State Head Quarters and

District Levels have been created and fund for the same is provided from

the State Government Budget.

87050 Cook cum-helpers have bank A/Cs.

DIs / ADIs / AIs / SIs and Headmaster/ Headmistress of different Govt.

schools have taken training on MDM implementation at ATI, Kolkata.

Emergency telephone numbers have been painted on the walls of the

schools - JRM

Involvement of teachers in schools has helped taking MDM by the

students in an orderly manner – JRM

Monitoring system at the State level, is overall good. Involvement of BDO

for maintaining rice quality is no doubt praiseworthy – JRM

Block is transferring money directly to the account of SHG, thereby

reducing the time gap of fund flow – JRM

Supply of disposable plates to the students by the schools for taking

MDM during examination days - JRM

GOOD PRACTICES FOLLOWED IN STATE

ISSUES

MDM, WEST BENGAL

Repairing cost for kitchen sheds may be allowed.

Fund for transporting meals from cluster kitchens to the school premises

may by allowed.

Rs 5000 for kitchen devices is inadequate for schools with higher

enrolment.

Kitchen sheds constructed with the ceiling of Rs. 60,000/- per unit cost do

not have store room.

Fund for construction of dining halls may be considered for allotment.

Initial installation charge for LPG connection need to be considered.

Most of the Upper Primary schools have students from class V-X or XII, but

MDM is allowed only for students in class V–VIII. So serving of MDM is a

problem.

FINDINGS OF SIX EXPERT AUTHORITIES

MDM, WEST BENGAL

Quality of rice is good in all schools.

Safe keeping of rice bags is satisfactory with little variation in small

number of schools.

Availability of cooking cost at school level is regular with minor exception.

Most of the schools have Pucca Kitchen –cum store.

Payment of Honorarium to Cook-cum helper is delayed in few cases but it

has improved compared to earlier times.

Availability of Potable water is noticed in many schools.

Service of MDM to the students in schools is regular.

Monitoring of MDMS should be strengthened.

Community participation in performance of MDMS is not up to the mark.

Poor performance of school health Programme.
