Review and Evaluation

• Directorate of Evaluation and Statistics
  entrusted with the responsibility of making an
  evaluation study. The report is awaited.
• During the year 2006-07 a complaint about the non
  implementation of the scheme in the areas of Uri
  and Tangdar was received by the Ministry of Human
  Resources and Development.
• A team deputed by the Ministry made spot
  inspections and have returned the report to the
  Ministry.
• The petitions committee of the state Legislative
  Assembly reviewed the progress on implementation
  of the scheme on 16th of March 2007. It has
  decided to constitute the sub-committees for
  visits to various schools to inspect the
  implementation of the scheme at the cutting edge
  level.
• Review of the implementation of the scheme with
  the Zonal Education Officers held on 6th of
  January 2007. A workshop to sensitize the Zonal
  Education Officers with the revised guidelines
  being held shortly at the divisional level.

28
Areas of Concern

• Feeling of deprivation amongst the section of
  children studying in upper primary classes.
• Loss of teaching days for the teacher procuring
  the food grains and other materials from the
  agencies / market.
• Lack of storage facilities exposes the food
  grains to quality deterioration.
• The storage facility permitted on normative basis
  for the locations which remain snow bound and
  inaccessible for a minimum of 6 months cannot
  serve the purpose and in such areas the food
  grains for a minimum of two quarters needs to be
  provided in advance. The prototype design for
  kitchen-cum-store provided for under the
  guidelines would not meet the requirement.
• The cost of construction of kitchen-cum-store
  worked out at Rs.60000/- per unit may meet the
  requirement to an extent in the plain areas of
  Jammu division but falls far short of estimated
  expenditure in the hilly and far flung areas
  where the component of head load and the lead
  adds to the cost in a big measure. The inevitable
  requirement of providing the roof in the winter
  zone of the state again adds to the cost. For
  construction of additional classroom under Sarva
  Shiksha Abhiyan with almost the same built up
  area cost estimates calculated on average basis
  work out at Rs.1.65 lacs.
