NEW DELHI: Both the UPA and the NDA governments clearly agree on at least the subject of mid-day meals. The Manmohan Singh government told off its own minister on the proposal to bring in pre-packaged food in the scheme, the Modi government is set to do so with one of its most prominent chief ministers.

The Prakash Javadekar-led Human Resource Development (HRD) ministry is set to shoot down a request repeatedly pushed for by Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje to allow serving of pre-cooked food under the Centre's mid-day meals. It is gathered that the HRD ministry is of the firm view that rules and regulations do not allow any possibility of serving ready-to-eat pre-packaged food under the scheme and is set to convey the same clearly to Raje.

Sources told ET that the ministry has formulated a position on the subject citing the MDM Rules, 2015, the National Food Security Act, 2013, the MDM guidelines and the apex court's directions to firmly reinforce that the meal to be served to primary and upper primary children in government schools is mandated to be a 'hot cooked meal'.

The same will be formally conveyed to Raje, sources indicated. Raje has strongly pitched for introduction of pre packaged food in the flagship scheme, stepping in personally into the picture after her bureaucracy was shown the rule book by the Centre.
