SMS check on school meal

-The Telegraph
 
Meals daily, so will be the “feedback”.

Come June, the principals and headmasters of 12 lakh government primary schools in the country will have to inform the Centre on a daily basis through their mobile phones whether they have served mid-day meals.

The HRD ministry will start an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) under which the headmasters and principals will get messages or calls on their mobiles.

“The cellphones of the principals will ring and on the other end of the line will be a computer-generated voice asking if the mid-day meal was served or not and how many children had taken it. If the answer is no, the system will generate a follow-up question asking why meal was not served,” a ministry official said.

The ministry has asked the National Informatics Centre to develop the software, where the mobile number of the principals will be registered. A monitoring unit in the ministry will analyse the replies.
