&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Centre is considering doubling the monthly pay of the country&#039;s 25 lakh midday meal cook-cum-helpers to Rs 2,000, but the unions say the proposed raise is too little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cooks&#039; current pay of Rs 1,000 - a fraction of the official minimum wages - has been static since 2009, with successive governments keeping a proposed hike pending for the past five years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, a year before the general election will be due, the HRD ministry has sent a note to the cabinet committee on economic affairs suggesting the pay hike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the 25 lakh cooks, 82 per cent are women, mostly single women and widows. Forty per cent are from the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officials said that several organisations had from time to time demanded a rise in the cooks&#039; pay. The UPA government had in 2013 promised to double it immediately, but did not. The pending proposal was taken up in July 2014 by the NDA government but the cabinet committee deferred the proposal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cooks spend four to five hours in the school to prepare the meals, serve the children and clean the utensils and cooking devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently, the cooks are paid less than anganwadi workers (who receive Rs 3,000 a month) and anganwadi helpers (Rs 1,500). Their pay is a small fraction of the wages paid under the rural job guarantee scheme (Rs 168 a day in Bihar and Rs 284 a day in Haryana).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The RSS-affiliated Bharatiya Majdoor Sangh has said even the proposed pay rise is too small, considering that the minimum wage recommended by the 7th pay commission is Rs 18,000 a month.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The Centre is considering doubling the monthly pay of the country&#039;s 25 lakh midday meal cook-cum-helpers to Rs 2,000, but the unions say the proposed raise is too little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cooks&#039; current pay of Rs 1,000 - a fraction of the official minimum wages - has been static since 2009, with successive governments keeping a proposed hike pending for the past five years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, a year before the general election will be due, the HRD ministry has sent a note to the cabinet committee on economic affairs suggesting the pay hike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the 25 lakh cooks, 82 per cent are women, mostly single women and widows. Forty per cent are from the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Officials said that several organisations had from time to time demanded a rise in the cooks&#039; pay. The UPA government had in 2013 promised to double it immediately, but did not. The pending proposal was taken up in July 2014 by the NDA government but the cabinet committee deferred the proposal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cooks spend four to five hours in the school to prepare the meals, serve the children and clean the utensils and cooking devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently, the cooks are paid less than anganwadi workers (who receive Rs 3,000 a month) and anganwadi helpers (Rs 1,500). Their pay is a small fraction of the wages paid under the rural job guarantee scheme (Rs 168 a day in Bihar and Rs 284 a day in Haryana).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The RSS-affiliated Bharatiya Majdoor Sangh has said even the proposed pay rise is too small, considering that the minimum wage recommended by the 7th pay commission is Rs 18,000 a month.&lt;br /&gt;

Pay rise proposed for midday cooks -Basant Kumar Mohanty

-The Telegraph New Delhi: The Centre is considering doubling the monthly pay of the country's 25 lakh midday meal cook-cum-helpers to Rs 2,000, but the unions say the proposed raise is too little. The cooks' current pay of Rs 1,000 - a fraction of the official minimum wages - has been static since 2009, with successive governments keeping a proposed hike pending for the past five years. Now, a year before the general election will be due, the HRD ministry has sent a note to the cabinet committee on economic affairs suggesting the pay hike. Of the 25 lakh cooks, 82 per cent are women, mostly single women and widows. Forty per cent are from the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes. Officials said that several organisations had from time to time demanded a rise in the cooks' pay. The UPA government had in 2013 promised to double it immediately, but did not. The pending proposal was taken up in July 2014 by the NDA government but the cabinet committee deferred the proposal. The cooks spend four to five hours in the school to prepare the meals, serve the children and clean the utensils and cooking devices. Currently, the cooks are paid less than anganwadi workers (who receive Rs 3,000 a month) and anganwadi helpers (Rs 1,500). Their pay is a small fraction of the wages paid under the rural job guarantee scheme (Rs 168 a day in Bihar and Rs 284 a day in Haryana). The RSS-affiliated Bharatiya Majdoor Sangh has said even the proposed pay rise is too small, considering that the minimum wage recommended by the 7th pay commission is Rs 18,000 a month.
