The cost has been revised following recommendations by a review committee constituted last year that included representatives from the ministries of education, finance and labour, besides independent experts.

The central government has increased the cost of cooking school midday meals by 9.6% from October 1 that will be valid for financial year 2022-23, the education ministry has told the state governments and union territories, which will offer some relief to school authorities struggling to meet the costs at a time of high inflation.

The cost has been revised following recommendations by a review committee constituted last year that included representatives from the ministries of education, finance and labour, besides independent experts.

The revision was conveyed to concerned officials of all states and union territories by G Vijaya Bhaskar, director of PM POSHAN, the official name for the world’s largest school lunch programme, on Friday.

The education ministry had received a nod from the finance ministry via office memorandum dated September 27, an education ministry official said. “As per norms, the cost should be revised every year. But due to the pandemic, the revision could not happen last year. The ministry will revise the material cost every year from now on,” the official said, wishing to remain unnamed.
