dc.description.abstractThe study “Impact Assessment of Mid Day Meal Programme in Hisar district” was conducted in Haryana covering 2 blocks and 4 villages of Hisar district with purposive selection of Government Primary Schools and randomized sample of 100 children (25 children from each school). The respective mothers of the sampled children (100 mothers) and 10 teachers responsible for MDM activities in the sampled schools were also interviewed for the study. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge of the mothers about MDM programme; to assess the impact of the programme on nurtritional and educational status of beneficiaries and to assess the constraints in the programme. It was found that the majority of the mothers possessed medium knowledge about the MDM programme. The knowledge of the mothers was significantly influenced by independent variables (caste, education, land holding, cosmopoliteness, mass media exposure and attitude towards the programme). The anthropometric assessment of the children revealed that height and weight of the children were significantly lower than that of WHO reference (2007). High extent impact of the programme on nutritional and educational status of beneficiaries was reported by majority of the stakeholders on indicators such as classroom hunger, height, weight, morbidity, enrolment, attendance, drop out and retention. But the results on perceived impact of the programme on span of attention and academic performance of the children concluded that the programme had not made any significant impact on these two indicators. Thus, improvement in quality of education still remains a major unresolved issue to be tackled by the programme. The assessment of constraints in MDM programme depicted that poor quality of raw materials, lack of infrastructure for washing utensils, lack of utensils for cooking and serving, corruption and less remuneration for cooks were the major constraints as perceived by majority of the mothers and the teachers.en_US
