Minister Narayana inspected the Akshayapatra Kitchen in Atmakuru, Mangalagiri Mandal, Guntur District. Later, he told the media that the food distribution arrangements for the canteens have been examined. “In the past, we have set up 180 canteens across the state and provided 4.60 crore meals for Rs.5. We gave good food to the poor in a clean environment. But, when the Vaikapa government came, Anna canteens were closed. We decided to open canteens when the coalition government came. Akshaya Patra got the food distribution contract for Anna canteens. CM Chandrababu will inaugurate the Anna canteen at Gudivada on 15th of this month. The plan is to open 180 canteens in urban areas and more than 200 canteens in rural areas. We will set up at markets and hospitals where poor people frequent. “Akshayapatra’s kitchen is very modern and clean,” said the minister.
