She also unveiled the revised Take Home Ration (THR) Guidelines and presided over the sharing of Expression of Interest between Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) and Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives (APPI).
‘Mo-Chhatua’ is a joint initiative led by WCD & MS Department and supported by APPI. ‘Mo-Chhatua’ Website is a repository for information pertaining to infrastructure & machinery of THR producing and supplying SHGs, training modules, guidelines/ protocols, orders/ executive instructions/ compendiums of the Government.
The Management Information System and Application shall be an interactive as well as an end-to-end platform for real-time monitoring of indenting, issue of work orders, production and supply of THR till the settlement of payment to the THR producing SHGs.
The system shall also have paperless features like timely alerts to officials for action, automation of invoice submission & approval process. The supply of quality THR and its consumption by the targeted beneficiaries across the State has been a concern for some time now. Though quality is monitored currently by testing samples of THR in the State Public Health Laboratory (SPHL), collaboration with credible agencies and laboratories is been explored in order to improve quality surveillance.CFTRI has expressed a willingness to collaborate in this matter. Besides the above, the revised Guidelines on THR is a framework for the management of various facets of THR production and supply.
The Guidelines encompasses component of selection of SHGs; installation of machineries; procurement of ingredients; production, packaging and supply of THR; testing of THR etc. Notably, the State Government has been laying emphasis on the quality provision of nutrition under the Supplementary Nutrition Programme (SNP).
