(A).INTRODUCTION

Education plays a vital role in one’s life. Though, the education of a child starts with the home itself, yet, the
primary school is the first step towards formal schooling in India. India has one of the largest child-population of
the world. Half of them are disadvantaged and belong to the families which are economically impoverished. They
cannot afford good health care facilities and expensive educational institutes. . Before 1976, education was the
exclusive responsibility of the States. The Constitutional Amendment of 1976, which included education in the
concurrent List, was a far-reaching step. The substantive, financial and administrative implication required a new
sharing of responsibility between the Union Government and the States. While the role and responsibility of the
States in education remained largely unchanged, the Union Government accepted a larger responsibility of
reinforcing the national and integrated character of education, maintaining quality and standard including those of
the teaching profession at all levels, and the study and monitoring of the educational requirements of the country.
In order to achieve UEE (Universalisation of Elementary Education, the Government of India has initiated a
number of programmes and projects . The Government adopts an integrated approach in the implementation of the
various centrally sponsored schemes, in keeping with principles of the National Policy on Education, to ensure that
the education of equitable quality for all to fully harness the nation‟s human resource potential. The common
objectives are to enhance access through the expansion of quality school education; to promote equity through the
inclusion of disadvantaged groups and weaker sections, and to improve the quality of education. The Government of
India started the Mid Day Meal scheme and implemented Right to Education Act, 2010 to provide nutritional food
and free education respectively to these poor children of India. Hence, the government primary schools are the only
hope for these children to get free food and education. Though, the Mid day meal scheme has been implemented
years back (1966) as compared to Right to Education which has been implemented in the year 2010. Unfortunately,
the factor of quality in both is absent. Since in the past few months many incidents were reported in which
guidelines to ensure hygiene were kept aside while preparation of the mid day meal scheme. Further, the
education in these schools suffers due to MDM scheme. Researcher will bring out the situation of Government
Primary School in India with respect to Right to Education Act, 2010 and the MDM scheme. A number of incidents
were highlighted in the media where carelessness was reported while preparing food in the schools. One of the
notable incidents of carelessness was reported in the Samran district of Bihar. On July 2013, 23 children died after
eating mid day meal in the school. It was reported that instead of putting edible oil the insecticide was used for
cooking. The situation in other districts of Bihar was not different where maggot-infested wheat and rice and rotten
vegetables were being used for preparation of food. Further, the usage of toilet water to wash utensils of food in a
primary school of Panchkula, A dead lizard was found in the food in a primary school of Haryana and many more.
These incidents have become common. Furthermore, the food was being prepared in open in primary schools of
Mohali. Hence, non-seriousness in the implementation of the scheme is directly observed in these cases. Moreover,
the preparation of the food in the schools directly affects the provision of education in the schools .And many more
scheme are remarked subsequent the failure of government machinery.

exceedingly vast. However in the interest of brevity and due to certain restrictions like that of area limited to
Jehanabad Bihar and limitation of time etc,the researcher will not be able to deal with the topic in great
detail.
