The Government of Andhra Pradesh has decided to extend the Dokka Seethamma Madhyahna Badi Bhojanam (MDM) scheme to all junior colleges across the state. There are approximately 475 junior colleges serving around 1,48,923 students. To implement this, junior colleges have been mapped to nearby government high schools, which will provide midday meals to the junior college students from the same schools. The details are here under

During the meeting certain Head Masters informed that, existing Cook Cum Helpers are not sufficient to prepare Mid-Day Meal to the students of Govt Jr. Colleges and requested for additional Cook Cum Helpers to the mapped High Schools as well as NGOs.
In this connection, the criteria for engaging of the Cook Cum Helpers in mapped schools is as follows

For colleges which are mapped to nearby High schools |
Consider 70% college enrollment duly following the existing MDM guidelines for engaging of Cook Cum helpers |
|
For colleges which are mapped to NGOs |

Therefore, the District Educational Officers across the state are requested to engage the Cook Cum Helpers (CCHs) in accordance with the existing guidelines and criteria as mentioned above and ensure that, they are on boarded prior to the launch of the program and also requested to coordinate with District Vocational Educational Officers for smooth functioning of the scheme.
