Interviewer instructions

There are schools which provide standard food to all or some students as mid-day meal, tiffin etc., free or at subsidised rate. If such food is regularly received in the school by the student member, code 1 will be recorded. Institutions which run canteen facilities where the students can merely purchase the food of their choice should not be considered even though they may be subsidised to some extent. For recording 1, the food supplied must be similar to all students and payment if any should be periodical and not every day.
