Interviewer instructions

There are schools, which provide food to all or some students as mid-day meal, tiffin etc., free. If such food
is regularly received in the school by the students, code 1 is to 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( for Yes to "Is free mid-day
meal/tiffin/nutrition provided? ), the food supplied must be similar to all students.
