Due To Closure Of Mid-Day Meal In Schools Of Jharkhand, Funds Not Received From The Center Even After Four And A Half Months
Due to paucity of money in the government schools of Jharkhand, the mid-day meal has come to a standstill. Even after passing four and a half months of the financial year 2022-23, the state has not received any amount for this scheme. State Education Minister Jagarnath Mahto has appealed to the Central Government regarding this. He has said that along with mid-day meal, the amount of Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan has also not been released by the Center. This has created a huge problem. He Has Met the Union Minister of State for Education Annapurna Devi and Requested For Personal Initiative in This Matter According to official sources, in the meeting of the Project Approval Board (PAB) of the Central and Jharkhand Government, Rs 900 crore has been approved for the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan and Rs 630 crore for the mid-day meal scheme. According to the rules, 60 percent of this amount is to be met from the central government, while the state government will give 40 percent from its treasury. I
