During a review meeting on the functioning of Anganwadis at Tadepalli near here, he directed the officials to constantly monitor the supply of milk and eggs to the children to ensure their quality. He told them to formulate SOPs using technology to ensure a foolproof and hassle free distribution of food items.
There should be a constant vigil even on the functioning of supervisors and strict action should be taken against staff members indulging in wrong doings in the distribution of milk and eggs. Besides filling the existing 63 CDPO posts as soon as possible, the process of giving promotions should also be expedited, he suggested.
Besides ensuring that quality milk is served to all children, officials should launch a pilot project immediately to serve flavored milk to children, he said, observing it can be launched in full-fledged manner after three months.
