Hyderabad: In an attempt to curtail irregularities in the midday meal scheme, the Telangana State government has decided to deploy software to get precise number of students attending in each school on day-to-day basis and taking meals. The government has proposed to implement the scheme on pilot basis in schools in Kottur mandal in Mahboobnagar.
The schemes envisages the headmasters of all schools sending the precise number of students attending the classes on day-to-day basis and the number of them taking the midday meals.
The government has proposed to send the data online every day. Software developed by a software company has come in handy for the purpose.
Principal Secretary of Education Rajeev R Acharya, during the video conference with the Commissioner of School Education, District Education Officers (DEOs) and Mandal Education Officers (MEOs) announced the decision. A circular was also issued to MEOs in this regard.
According to the circular, MEOs have not been spending funds to pay honorarium to cooking agencies. Apart from it, it has been found that the headmasters too have not been reporting to the government precise number of students taking midday meals.
As a result of which, the MEOs are unable to present the bills to the treasury and thus paying honorarium to the cooking agencies irregularly.
