Kohima | October 20 : Commissioner Secretary School Education & SCERT Imkonglemba Ao IAS said mid-day meal scheme is to attract the downtrodden family that has been introduced in a very systematic and calculative manner where children should have the feeling of equal rights and food.

On the food item made available in the schools, Ao said separate utensils has been arranged to make sure that food poisoning, epidemic diseases, contaminated foods do not take place and joyfully added that very soon even the uniform (neck ties) will be seen with SSA logo printed on it, also NRHM will also be visiting the schools for regular check ups.
While congratulating the newly promoted officers, Junior Education Officer (JEOs), Area Education Officer (AEOs) which was attained after a long wait, the commissioner secretary also reminded the officer participants that more responsibility has been added to deliver better and quality education to the children.
Imkonglemba said JEO will help with the centrally sponsored schemes like mid day meal, uniform or text books etc where all the schemes will be implemented by the JEO and in the meantime the AEO will be re-designated to do main inspection works.
He maintained that JEO will initiate the executive line to learn the centrally sponsored schemes and the state programmes where eventually they will also be introduced to, with the works of the government office so that by the time JEO take over as Assistant headmaster, facilities that are available will be exposed with more transparency, more systematic and it will be a joyful job assignment.
