## ANSWER MINISTER OF EDUCATION (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

(a) to (e): Under the Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDMS), the Central Government started providing 100% Central Assistance for construction of kitchen-cum-stores at a flat rate of  Rs.  60,000/-  per  unit  since  2006-07.  All  the  States  and  UTs  including  Telangana have expressed their inability to construct Kitchen-cum-Stores (KcS) at old rates i.e. @ Rs.60,000/-  per  unit  due  to  cost  escalation.  Accordingly,  the  norms  for  kitchencum-stores  have  been  revised  from  the  month  of  December,  2009  and  the  cost  of construction  of  Kitchen-cum-Stores  is  now  determined  on  the  basis  of  plinth  area norms and the State Schedule of Rates prevalent in the States and UTs. All the States and UTs including Telangana have also been advised to expedite the construction of remaining KcS.

As informed by State Government of Telangana, 17,483 Kitchen-cum-Store have been constructed  and  3698  are  in  progress. It  has  also  been  decided  by  the  State Government  to  develop  infrastructure  facility  in  all  the  schools  in  three  phases  for construction  of  remaining  Kitchen-cum-Stores.  The  District-wise details of Kitchencum-Stores (KcS) sanctioned and constructed in Telangana under the Scheme during 2006-07 to 2019-20 is given at Annexure.

Annexure referred to in reply to part (a) to (e) of Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 3389  for  09.08.2021  raised  by  Dr.  G.  Ranjith  Reddy,  Hon'ble  MP  regarding  Kitchen cum Stores under MDMS
