Jaipur: The Rajasthan Government has launched a subsidised meal scheme 'Annapurna Rasoi', in 12 cities on Thursday to provide food at nominal rates to the underprivileged.

The scheme which was unveiled by state Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje at Jaipur also had Urban Development and Housing minister Shrichand Kriplani, BJP state president Ashok Parnami and Mayor Ashok Lahoti present at the occasion.

The scheme has initially been launched in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Ajmer, Bikaner, Udaipur, Bharatpur, Baran, Banswara, Dungarpur, Pratapgarh and Jhalawar. It will be implemented in other cities within the next 6 months, Kriplani was quoted saying.

Under the scheme, breakfast will cost Rs 5 and lunch/dinner at Rs 8 for the underprivileged. However, the actual cost of a breakfast is Rs 21.70 and Rs 23.70 for a lunch/dinner. The difference will be borne by the government said Manjeet Singh, principal secretary, Local Self Department.

"The government will have to bear a financial burden of Rs 10 crore for 12 cities as the financial gap. This gap will be approximately 40 crore if the scheme covers all the urban areas of the state," he said.

The meal will be cooked and served by trained staff in 80 special vans.

Amma & Kejriwal concept copied by Rajasthan CM, whose political strength is dwindling.

Indian Parliament has passed National Food Security Act, 2013 on 10th September, 2013 with the objective to provide for food and nutritional security in human life cycle approach, by ensuring access to adequate quantity of quality food at affordable prices to people to live a life with dignity. The Act provides for coverage of upto 75% of the rural population and upto 50% of the urban population for receiving subsidized foodgrains under Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS), thus covering about two-thirds of the population. The eligible persons will be entitled to receive 5 Kgs of foodgrains per person per month at subsidised prices of Rs. 3/2/1 per Kg for rice/wheat/coarse grains. The existing Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) households, which constitute the poorest of the poor, will continue to receive 35 Kgs of foodgrains per household per month.

32 States/UTs, namely Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chandigarh, Chhatisgarh, Daman & Diu, Delhi, Goa, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Lakshadweep, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Puducherry, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Telangana, Tripura, Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Meghalaya, Jammu & Kashmir Andaman & Nicobar, Mizoram, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh are implementing the Act at present. Out of these, Chandigarh and Puducherry are implementing the Act in DBT mode i.e. they are providing direct cash transfer of food subsidy to the beneficiaries.


Actually Republic of India is self sufficient and Indian establishment is working on uplifting the lives of ordinary Indian citizens. Jai Jawan - Jai Kishan

Any Idea what the Menu includes ?

The scheme offers subsidised food for people across several categories. As per the government scheme, breakfast shall be made available at Rs 5 and nutritious food for Rs 8. The scheme is meant to offer subsidised food to labourers, rickshaw pullers, auto wallahs, employees, students, working women, old and disabled and needy people. In the first phase, subsidised food shall be made available in more than 10 districts, including Vasundhara's own constituency Jhalawar. The scheme is being implemented simultaneously in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Ajmer, Bikaner, Udaipur, Bharatpur, Baran, Banswara, Dungarpur, Pratapgarh and Jhawlawar - Jhalarapatan.

Kindly try to see the video clip.

You will see the menu and even how the food is being served and transported.

Under the scheme, breakfast will cost Rs 5 and lunch/dinner at Rs 8 for the underprivileged Indian Citizens.

It's a good initiative but it's very difficult to find what's actually happening behind the scenes.
Maintaining quality of food will be a real challenge.

The video clip makes it clear that the whole thing will fail in 1 month.

No hygiene, small quantity of food, no facility to dispose waste, no water available to wash hand or vessel.

It won't be long before someone dies after eating from this place.

Why you always have such attitude towards Indian Government schemes ?
