Counsel for Petitioner :- Rakesh Pande

In pursuance of the previous order of this Court dated 8 September 2015, the Joint Secretary (Basic Education) is present before the Court and has submitted a chart. The chart indicates that the daily availability of milk at Kanpur Nagar is about 2,18,000 liters and the actual requirement of milk is about 23,237 liters having due regard to the fact that the average attendance of students for July and August 2015 was 53.31 percent of the total� of 2,17,962 students enrolled. Of the five dairies which have been mentioned in a tabulated� form, only one is in the control of the State, namely Parag Dairy which is listed at serial number 5. Whether the other dairies have entered into an agreement with the State Government to supply milk at the rate of Rs 32/- per litre is a matter on which the Court must be apprised.

The second aspect which the Court had earlier adverted to is in respect of conversion charges and is of utmost importance. The conversion cost of Rs 3.76 and Rs 5.64 per child for the primary and upper primary students has been fixed by the State Government under the midday meal scheme. Under the revised menu, it has been contemplated that students have to be supplied a cooked meal and 200 milliliters of boiled milk on every Wednesday. Though an effort has been made to indicate that this is in lieu of the erstwhile menu which required the provision of a cooked meal or kheer on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the fact remains that under the revised menu, on Wednesdays a cooked meal is to be provided in addition to milk. How this can be achieved in the budgeted amount from the conversion cost is anybody's guess. Since the new District Magistrate has recently taken charge at Kanpur, we give sufficient time to enable him to apprise himself of all the relevant factual material and to file his personal affidavit in pursuance of the previous directions of this Court dated 8 September 2015.

We direct both the Joint Secretary (Basic Education) and the Collector and District Magistrate, Kanpur Nagar to remain present in the Court on the next date of listing to assist the Court.

We also issue notice to the sixth to tenth respondents. These respondents shall indicate before the Court the manner in which the conversion cost is utilized in the actual provision of� food under the midday meal scheme.

The learned counsel for the petitioner shall take steps to ensure that service is completed on the sixth to tenth respondents well in advance before the next date of listing.

List on 6 October 2015 under the same caption.

In the meantime, we are of the view that the facts which have been placed before the Court Order should warrant a fresh scrutiny by the State Government on the efficacy of the arrangements which it has made.

Date :- 22.9.2015
