In Salem district, the provision of nutrition in 512 schools has become a question mark due to non-allocation of funds for six months.

Salem district has 512 nutrition centers in six unions viz., Veerapandi, 77, Nangavalli, 90, Mechery, 95, Kadaiyambatti, 117, Konkanapuram, 68, Kengavalli, 65.

Funds required for three months for the cost of vegetables, grocery items and gas cylinder required for nutrition centers, in advance
Accordingly, the organizer’s bank account should be credited in full. However, as the funds required for these six unions alone have not been allocated for six months, they are suffering from a severe financial crisis, the nutrition organizers have said.
Some nutrition organizers said: Due to lack of nutrition organizers, there is a situation where only one organizer is managing up to 4-5 school centers. We don’t even mind the extra workload.
The indifference shown by the authorities in not providing funds for nutrition, since April, has caused distress. The loan amount of groceries purchased by four or five schools has exceeded one lakh rupees. Due to this, they show reluctance to give groceries in the shop. Therefore, vegetables should be bought in reduced quantities. The district administration should intervene and solve the problem immediately. Thus they said.
Regarding this, the collector’s interview assistant Kalachelvi said, ‘More
In a week, funds will be allocated’ he said.
