The Mid-Day Meal Monitoring Module is designed to bring efficiency, transparency, and real-time visibility into the operations of the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) Scheme, one of the largest school nutrition programs in the world. This module enables schools to digitally log daily meal preparation and consumption, track ingredient stock levels, and report discrepancies or issues through a structured and user-friendly interface.
Integrated with district and state dashboards, the module ensures that education officers, MDM coordinators, and nutrition officers can monitor the program’s implementation across schools in real time—improving compliance, reducing wastage, and safeguarding children's health.
