Under this initiative, beneficiaries can enjoy a nutritious tiffin for just Rs. 5, making daily meals accessible to all sections of society.
The total cost of breakfast is Rs. 19, with Rs. 14 subsidized by the GHMC. Only Rs. 5 will be collected from participants, ensuring minimal financial burden. The menu for students from U.7 to U.10 includes a variety of popular South Indian dishes such as Idli, Upma, Puri, Vada, and Pongal.
