Mid-day meal not served or poor quality
The school meal is not served on some days, served irregularly, or is of poor quantity or quality; the meal in-charge and the Block Education Officer are accountable.

Report a school meal not served to the school head and the Block Education Officer, with the date.
Who is responsible
The mid-day meal in a government school is recorded in a daily meal register, so a claim about a missed or poor meal is checked against that register.
