Dhenkanal: Government of Orissa started Midday Meal Programme for students of primary schools up to class fourth. For effectively monitoring the distribution of rice, dal, oil etc to schools a computerized Information System was developed by the NIC, District Unit, Dhenkanal. According to the Programme, children of primary schools are supplied a midday meal on all working days. Per student rice is given at the rate of 80 grams, dal at the rate of 15 grams and oil at the rate of one gram for EAS (Employment Assurance Scheme) blocks which include the three districts-Dhenkanal, Odapada and Bhuban. And 100 grams rice, 15 grams dal and 1 gram oil for Non-EAS (Non-Employment Assurance Scheme) blocks which include the districts of Gondia, Hindol, Kamakhynanagar, Parjang and Kankadahad. In order to monitor the distribution two databases are developed at NIC District Computer Centre. One for block entry and other for school entry. Block database contains block code, block name, block type. In school database, block code, village name, block type, school name, name of the headmaster, total number of students are stored. The output reports generated are: ● Total requirement of rice, dal, oil of the district, block, school ● Updated report for excess amount of rice, dal, oil available ● Detailed list of schools with students' strength and name of the headmaster ● Route wise report of transportation ● Delivery Chalan The System helps the District Administration in many ways such as: ● For calculation of schoolwise, blockwise requirement of rice, dal and oil ● Helps in identifying the amount of rice, dal, oil and also the balance available ● Checks the change of students' strengths every time and reports to Users ● Helps to generate correct report without any addition, modification and other error ● Predicts exact requirement of rice, dal, oil for the coming month after deducting available quantity of rice, dal, oil at schools.
