Abstract

Mid Day Meal Scheme is the largest school feeding programme in the world reaching out to about 12 crores children in more than ten lakhs primary and upper primary schools (Government, Government Aided and Local bodies), EGS/AIE centres and Madarsa and Maqtabs supported under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. A programme of scale and magnitude of Mid Day Meal requires close monitoring and evaluation at all levels.

In the first phase GOI has constituted review missions for four states viz. Assam, Bihar, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. A team is constituted for review the scheme in Uttar Pradesh under the leadership of Director, MHRD, GOI.
