Telangana govt’s Annapurna Food Scheme serves 10 crore meals in GHMC limits

Hyderabad: The Telangana government’s flagship subsidised meal programme ‘Annapurna Food Scheme’ has reached a unique milestone of serving 10 crore meals in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) since its inception in 2014.

The Annapurna scheme proved to be a saviour for the underprivileged and needy beneficiaries, especially during Covid-induced lockdowns and floods. The piping hot and hygienic meals, which are served as part of the Annapurna Food Scheme, have become a huge hit among the urban poor, especially daily wage labourers in Hyderabad.
