He told them to formulate SOPs (standard operating procedures) using technology to ensure a foolproof and hassle free distribution of food items.

Besides ensuring that quality milk is served to all children, officials should launch a pilot project immediately to serve flavoured milk to children, he said.

The Chief Minister asked the officials to formulate proposals on introducing teaching methods using smart TVs to give the best education to kids in Anganwadis.

While village and ward clinics should constantly monitor the health of the children in Anganwadis, better medical treatment should be extended to all children using Aarogyasri wherever necessary.

The Anganwadis, Medical and Health Department and Village Clinics should work in tandem to ensure nutritious food to all mothers and children suffering from anaemic problems, he said.

Also, a foolproof method should be developed to provide take home ration for all mothers, he said, and asked the officials to work favourably towards the children in all Government schools and Anganwadis as majority of children belonged to weaker sections.
