School Education Department– Jagananna Gorumudda – Supply of Eggs to Schools in the state- Request for Pre-Dispatch Inspections

The Hon’ble Chief Minister conducted a review meeting on the

implementation of Jagananna Gorumudda Scheme on 05.01.2022.

The Hon’ble Chief Minister appreciated the visits of Collectors and

Joint Collectors to the schools to check and taste meals and instructed to

strengthen the scheme by minimum two visits by the Collectors and Joint

collectors to check MDM as these inspections have shown tremendous

impact on the quality of the meals served.

In the review meeting, the issue of providing quality eggs was also

discussed in details. One of the checks for ensuring quality has been

considered as pre- dispatch checks of the eggs in the stock points for their

quality parameters before dispatch to schools.

You may be aware that the same suppliers supply eggs for both

anganwadis and schools. Already Joint Collectors have been requested for

predispatch checks of the eggs by the Director, Women Development and

Child Welfare vide the reference above.

In the same manner, a Committee at the Mandal level may be

constituted/ reconstituted involving CDPOs, Mandal Education officers for

pre dispatch checks of the eggs in the godowns so as to avoid sending of

rotten eggs/ small sized eggs and it is requested to take necessary action

on the suppliers if any deviations in the quality of the eggs supplied.

It is also requested to visit schools frequently to check Jagananna

Gorumudda as directed by Government for successful implementation of

the Jagananna Gorumudda scheme.
