• Providing of Rs.1/- as additional cooking cost per child per day by State Govt.

• Creation of Monitoring and Evaluation Cell.

• Conduct of Social Audit in two districts (Khammam & Chittoor)

• Regular review by the State officials through Video conference.

Andhra Pradesh State is going to become two states i.e., Telangana & Andhra

Pradesh. Hence a separate Additional Director (MDM) and one Assistant Director

(MDM) along with regular staff is to be sanctioned for Telangana State.

Here onwards from 2nd June, 2014 budget and other releases are to be given

separately for two states.

Enhancing of honorarium to Cook cum Helpers from Rs.1000/- to atleast Rs.2000/-

per month.

Enhancement of Construction cost of Kitchen Sheds phase II to Rs.2.00 lakhs or to

decrease the plinth area to 253 Sft. for constructing the kitchen sheds @ Rs.1.50

lakhs. (as per latest SSR)
