Best Practices

Real Time Monitoring through Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) to supervise the M.D.M. program implementation at school level on day to day basis.

Web Based Management Information System : through which reporting is done by the each and every district on monthly basis on the given prescribed format of QPRs by Government of India. All these reports are automatically compiled at the State level and generate the reports as required by the MDMA officials to analyse the information.Web based system for monitoring Payment to FCI and lifting agenciesSystem of online budget allocation and e-payment : State Govt. has opened Madhyan Bhojan Nidhi for all the schools in the nearest CBS branches. Payment of honorarium to cook-cum-helpers through e-transfer to their accounts.

e-Communication All communications including GOs and MDMA circulars, fund and foodgrain releases are sent through emails to District Magistrates, AD Basic, BSAs and officials of the MDMA at Division and District level. Stakeholder Training and Capacity Building is being regularly done.
