Vellore Amma Unavagams Inspected
The Vellore Corporation Council passed a resolution on Thursday to
fund the deficit in running Amma Unavagams in the area from its
General Fund. It is estimated that the cost of running 10 canteens is
Rs. 2.70 crore a year and the income would be Rs. 1.31 crore.
With the super success of the low cost canteens in Chennai, the Tamil
Nadu Government has decided to take the idea to other parts of the
State. Officials from the Corporation visited canteens at Neduntheru
in Kasba and Gandhi Nagar in Katpadi and tasted the sambar rice and
curd rice that were cooked there.
Mayor P. Karthiyayani said, ‘ The women (who will work at the
canteens) have prior experience in running canteens and hotels on a
small scale. They were taken to Amma Unavagam canteens in Chennai and
given training on how to behave with customers and serve the public…
The dates for the inauguration of the canteens (will) be announced
soon.’
