“It is very important to direct and support a child’s dream in the right way. It is a way to shape them in their young and tender age thereby securing the future of the country too. Shekar’s dream and his eagerness to achieve it despite the economic challenges in life inspired me to get involved with this mentorship programme. As his dream matched my field of expertise, I wanted to provide him a better exposure and understanding of his aspiration by being his guide in culinary art.” Chef Ramasamy Selvaraju Mentor 68
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Review of the mid-day meal implementation Overview The Board of Trustees is glad to inform that your Foundation during the Financial Year 2014-15 earned a surplus of ` 385.05 lakhs from its operations against a deficit of ` 550.35 lakhs during the previous Financial Year. The total income of the Foundation grew by 25.16%, and the expense was kept under control and the same grew by 18.26% only. This enabled the Foundation to post a marginal surplus after two years. Feeding Operations The Foundation commenced mid-day meal feeding programme in Bhubaneswar and Lucknow branches, and scaled up the volume of feeding in Rourkela. The overall growth during the year in terms of volume of mid-day meals served over the previous year was 1%. The Foundation expanded its Anganwadi feeding programme (under Integrated Child Development Scheme) during the year at Hyderabad, Vadodara, Surat and Vrindavan. The growth in meals served in this programme was 33% over the previous year. The Foundation continued the Ksheera Bhagya milk programme with the support of the Government of Karnataka, wherein hot milk is served to the Government school children in Bengaluru and Hubballi. During the year the share of grain grant and cooking conversion income from the Governments is 62.3% of the total income, and we reached out to 11,360 schools to serve the mid-day meals. Under the Mid-Day Meal Scheme of the Government of India, the number of beneficiaries is 10.45 crore school children spread across 11.58 lakh schools across India and the Foundation reaches out to about 1.5% of this population. In line with the previous years, the Government extended a 7.5% increase towards conversion cost for the Financial Year 2014-15 over the previous year. We are glad to state that 12 of our kitchens are ISO 22000:2005 (Food Safety Management System) certified. The Foundation follows industry best practices like GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), GHP (Good Hygiene Practices) and 5S (concept of Work Place Organization) across the organization. We have established a very strong Quality Management framework across the organization. We inspect and accept the raw material only if it is complying with the FSSAI (Food Safety Standards Act of India) guidelines. Our employees contribute their best to the Foundation and we have a strong Training, Engagement, Rewards and Recognition Programme in place. The Foundation won the prestigious “National Food Safety Awards” successively for the last two years from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). We have also instituted “Akshaya Pragathi”, an organization-wide Continual Improvement Programme to institutionalise Kaizen Implementation and Projects focused on Continual Improvement using Plan, Do, Check and Act (PDCA) / Six Sigma methodologies in quality and food safety. Research studies indicate that these feeding programmes have had a positive impact on the learning enhancement of students and also on gender and caste neutrality. Macro Environment of the Country The Gross Domestic Product of the country is expected to grow at 7.4% during Financial Year 2015-16 as against 7.3% growth achieved during Financial Year 2014-15. The year witnessed a budget outlay of ` 9,236.40 crore for the year 2015-16 for the Mid-Day Meal Programme in comparison to ` 13,215 crore sanctioned for Financial Year 2014-15. The Foundation believes that quality and food safety is of paramount importance and strongly advocate that this can be achieved only when every stakeholder in the supply chain and delivery model perform their part accurately each time and at all times. 69
