Midday meal in Govt schools would be supplied through vehicles and would be prepared under a single roof,” said Binod Kumar the DC lohardaga.
Kumar added, “In first the customized meal delivery would be started in lohardaga, Senha and Kisko block. For that an MOU has been signed by district administration and Anamrita Foundation Company. The two blocks of Gumla district Ghaghra and Bishunpur are also included in the MOU.
From class one to eighth the system would maintain the quality of the meal. In recent days there are many hurdles noticed to run the scheme effectively. For that the agreement has been done with the help of CSR fund of Hindalco and district administration.
In first stage the agreement has been to supply the meals from 26th April 2018 to 25th April 2021. Probably the scheme would be started from 2nd November. In Kandra village a kitchen is being prepared in 1.75 acres of area. As many as 40 thousands students would be benefited by it. For construction of kitchen and availability of vehicle Hindalco company has provided Rs 5 crores.”
The cooks of the school would be given the works to distribute the meal and would be provided the salary as earlier. They would not have to face the problem of unemployment.
The teachers of the school would feel free from extra burden and hence the education environment would be expected better. The inspection of the meal would also be conducted integrated now, Kumar told.

The meal would be prepared with vapour and would be nutritious.” On the occasion AC Ranjeet Kumar Sinha, DEO Urmila Kumari, DSE lOhardaga Rnuka Tigga, DSE Gumla Ganauri Mishtri, president of Hindalco BK Jha, Ashish Upadhyay, Prakash Kumar, Neeraj Kumar, Abhay Kumar Singh, vice chairman of Anamrita foundation Sanjay Tikku, Anjani Priya and many senior officials were present.
