This is also part of job and therefore will count as part attended at least. Half day.

1. If attending school for the purpose of distribution of mid day meal is not considered to be an official attendance nor it is attracting any extra remuneration , the decision if the school authority doesn't suffer from any ambiguity. 

2. Now if there us an additional duty to keep accounts of food items distributed then putting signature on the account register must be compulsory. 

3. In any event if you feel aggrieved by this decision you can bring attention to the District Inspector or Education Department. 

You should also get chance to put your signature on register if not need to complaint to higher authority for the same. Otherwise you need to inform the same to educational dept

Since schools have been closed down due to lock down signature of govt teachers is not required 

for distribution of mid day meal teachers signature is not required unless there is direction laid down by govt that teachers have to sign 

1. Schools are opened for taking classes.

2. In your case the school is closed officially.

3. Do you have any written instruction for attending to the  said mid day meal distribution program?  If yes, then ask your Head Master whether any remuneration will be paid to you for giving the said service or not. If yes, your attendance can be recorded for that specific purpose only and not for attending the school which is closed for taking classes.

4. Government officials are attending offices for doing the official job allotted to them whereas in your case your school is not functioning for the purpose for which it has been established.

Since lock down has been extended in West Bengal till 31st July teacher can resume duties only on schools being reopened 

as far as resumption during mid day meal scheme us concerned seek necessary clarifications in this regard from school authorities 

1. Do you get extra payment for attending the mid day meal distribution program?

2. If no, then you are already getting payment for the entire month without taking any class.

3. If teachers and non teaching staffs are not specially selected to attend the said program and all are directed to attend it, then all eligible teachers and other staffs can attend to it.

She have to give joining on next day of her leave off.

No extra payment payable for this duty and to resolve your issue, complain to district inspector or collector.

And I think after covid, this period will not waive to count working days, whether sign register or not.

You seem to be clueless what exactly is your problem.

Sometime you ask abut yourself and now about your female colleague.

Let her ask her own query here or somewhere else.

Schools are officially closed therefore there is no question of attending the duty or signing the attendance register.

This is a special task for which the midday meals workers shall be there to take care.

If the teachers are asked to come to school for this purpose then demand additional  remuneration from the school authorities for this or ask them to give it in writing instructing the teachers to attend the school for this or any other purpose while the government has passed an order to close all the schools.

You may seek necessary clarifications in this regard from school authorities 

If teachers and non teaching staffs are not specially selected to attend the said program and all are directed to attend it, then all eligible teachers and other staffs can attend to it.

Since this would be an additional duty or extra duty, signing the attendance register may not be necessary, an instruction in writing from the school authorities may be sufficient for claimning the extra remuneration.

The teacher or the staff who went of maternity leave cannot resume the duty while the schools are closed by an order of the government in this regard.

Have you been directed to attend the school for this purpose in writing or by a circular, if so, you may first attend the duty assigned and then you can ask for the additional remuneration, if you are eligible  as per the government orders. 

Yes she can. If needed then seek courts directions

The mid day meal is a special campaign, and that, when the schools are closed due to lock down for mid day meal program, there is no need for signature.

However, you may get it clarified from DEO / HM.

Yes, she can report to duty, let her address her reporting in writing, before doing that, check with HM.

Particularly, due to extension of lock down, and she is returning after maternity leave, better be careful and cautious.

- Since, the said direction was from the government and hence the teachers were bound to comply the same . 

- But, as the teachers who performed their duties of distribution of meal , should prove their presence in the school during the lockdown , after registering attendance ,like in other states and in Delhi, where the teacher of such duties were having register to mark their attendance. 

- Hence, the teachers who are attending school for the above purpose are eligible for signing on the school's attendance register on dates when the distribution is going on , otherwise the other teachers who were not available for giving such services in spite of having direction , will be also considered as they were present to comply the order. 

- You should send a written complaint before the inspector of school after raising this issue. 

Yes you HAVE to sign 

during lockdown attendence Or signature of staff and teachers not required.

in my opinions please go through with your department guideline . 

1. No harm there was lock down but the essential services allowed to work.

2. After maternity leave she can join the duty.

1. Yes teacher who are attending school during period of lockdown can mark their attendance in the register. 

2. If there is inspection of register for checking of presence of teacher during period of lockdown then how will a teacher prove that he was present at that day if his attendance is not marked in any register. 

3. You can tell above point to headmaster of school that what if some officer comes for inspection then he will be under scanner for not asking his staff to come on duty.
