The Andhra Pradesh Mid Day Meal (MDM) scheme, also known as "Jagananna Gorumudda," aims to provide nutritious food to school children. This includes the provision of rice, jaggery, and ragi powder as part of the daily meal.
Here's a breakdown of the general allotment details based on available information:
Key Components & Allotment:
- Rice: This is a staple of the Mid Day Meal.
- Classes 1 to 5: 100 grams per child per day.
- Classes 6 to 10: 150 grams per child per day.
Ragi Powder & Jaggery: These are primarily used for preparing "Ragi Java" (millet soup), which was introduced to the MDM scheme to provide additional nutrition on days when chikki (peanut-jaggery sweet) is not served.
- Ragi Java is typically served three times a week (e.g., Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday).
- The Sri Satya Sai Central Trust, Puttaparthi, is involved in supplying ragi flour and jaggery powder to district points, from where the Civil Supplies Department distributes it to schools.
Other Important Aspects of the AP MDM Scheme:
- Eggs: One egg (45-55 grams) is generally provided per day for all classes, five times a week. For students who do not consume eggs due to religious/caste grounds, a banana is provided as an alternative.
- Peanut Chikki (Groundnut Sweet): 25 grams per child, usually for three days a week.
- Other Ingredients: Pulses, vegetables, oil/ghee, and salt/condiments are also part of the meal, with specific quantities allocated per child based on primary and upper primary levels.
Nutritional Norms: The scheme aims to provide a prescribed amount of calories and protein per child per day (e.g., 450 calories and 12 grams protein for primary, 700 calories and 20 grams protein for upper primary).
Monitoring: The scheme is monitored at various levels, including school, village, block, district, and state committees, to ensure proper implementation and quality of food.
