Rs 5 For A Thali, 1,000 Meals Per Day: Delhi Opens 25 New Atal Canteens

The Delhi government has launched 25 new Atal Canteens, aimed at providing affordable meals to the urban poor and underprivileged residents of the capital. Each canteen offers a thali for just Rs 5, with a target of serving up to 1,000 meals daily. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address food insecurity and promote nutrition among low-income groups, including laborers and those in need. The Atal Canteen scheme, named after former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, underscores the government's commitment to supporting vulnerable populations. This expansion of the canteen network is expected to significantly enhance access to quality meals for thousands of residents, thereby improving their overall wellbeing and quality of life.
