MDM Jagananna Gorumudda Bills to be passed from Districts from 1st Nov
Jagananna Gorumudda (PM POSHAN)-Decentralization of payments regarding to the Cooking Cost, Honorarium of Cook Cum Helpers, Foodgrains bills, Transportation, Eggs & Chikkies and other payments under PM POSHAN - Orders –Issued-Reg.Attention of the DEOs is invited that the payments under MDM was centralised as there was delay in uploading/ following up with the DTO office in districts and many complaints and protests from CCH groups.
The main reason was lack of staf in the MDM section in DEO office, apart from coordination issues. Moreover, the single point contact with PAO Vijayawada sped up the uploading and processing of bills.
However, staf in MDM section in DEO offices have been sufficiently equipped with clarity of role and responsibilities. Moreover, Government has approved outsourcing personnel for PMU in the districts and already instructions have been issued to engage outsourcing personnel in PMU under TMF.
Hence, It has been decided to decentralized the payment system again from Headquarters to District Level and continue the release of payment of Cooking Cost, Honorarium of Cook Cum Helpers, Foodgrains bills, Transportation, Eggs & Chikkies and other payments through APCFMS directly to the benefciaries from Districts w.e.f.01.11.2021.
Further, the District Educational Officers in the State are instructed to get the approval of Joint Collectors ( in charge of School Education) for the payments towards the supplies of Eggs, Chikkies and other procurement bills before passing bills for having better control and supervision for timely supplies with the correct quantities and quality. The DEOs are also informed that there is no need to send any pending / current bills related to the Jagananna Gorumudda hereafter ( from 01.11.2021) to the Headquarters.
