Mid-day meal: `Don't discriminate against SC/ST cooks'
TNN, Jul 16, 2010, 09.06pm IST
MYSORE: The zilla panchayat has warned stern action against officials
and teachers practising untouchability in schools.
At the quarter-yearly district-level meeting of SC/ST awareness on
Thursday, the committee members claimed that some teachers and
officials were not eating the food as it was prepared by cooks,
belonging to SC/ST community, under the mid-day meal scheme. They
demanded authorities to pass an order to contain such practices at
least in government schools.
In response to their complaint, a ZP official said the ZP CEO had
passed an order in this regard in May. According to the order, every
student and school staffer is bound to take the food prepared by the
cook and if anyone prevents them from preparing food under the scheme,
they will face stern action.
Meanwhile, the members also urged deputy commissioner Harsh Gupta, who
chaired meeting at the government guesthouse, to ensure culprits are
punished. They also petitioned to speed up works pertaining to handing
over government lands to dalits.
