In the wake of complaints about money being sought for supplying eggs, bananas or peanut chikkis in schools, Additional Commissioner of School Education Department Jayashree Shintri has issued a warning saying that strict disciplinary action will be taken against those involved in such acts.
Under Akshara Dasoha scheme, along with mid-day meal scheme, the government has made supplying eggs, bananas or peanut chikkis mandatory as supplementary nutritional food for schoolchildren.
In a press release here, Ms. Shintri has said that headmasters and teachers should properly plan to cover the cost within the limit of ₹6 per student set by the government for each egg, banana or peanut chikki distributed to schoolchildren.
