Sir/Madam,
I am directed to inform that it has been decided with the approval of the competent authority to increase the Material Cost (earlier known as cooking cost) by 9.6% over and above the existing cooking cost under PM POSHAN Scheme with effect from 1st October, 2022 for the year 2022-2023. The Material cost will be shared between the Central and State as per the approved funding pattern of 90: 10 for North Eastern Region (NER) State and 2 Himalayan States & Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir, 100% for Union Territories without legislature and 60:40 for Other States as well as 2 Union Territories with Legislature (Delhi and Puducherry). The revised rates of Material cost (খরচ) admissible (গ্রহণযোগ্য) with effect from 1st October 2022 during 2022-2023 for Bal Vatika, Primary and Upper-primary Classes would be as under-

However, States/Union Territories may contribute more than their prescribed share, as some States/Union Territories had been contributing more than their minimum mandatory share from their own resources for providing meals with augmented nutrition under PM POSHAN Scheme.
- You are requested to disseminate the above increase in theMaterial Costto all concerned and the field functionaries up to school/cooking agency level to ensure prompt implementation of the revised Material Cost with effect from 1st October 2022.
