Now, UP's poor can get meals free of cost at Yogi govt's 'Prabhu ki Rasoi'

UP's Yogi Adityanath govt is mulling a scheme along the lines of Tamil Nadu's 'Amma canteens'

The Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh is set to emulate Tamil Nadu's successful 'Amma canteen' model, where highly subsidised food will be provided to the poor, according to reports.

The first such kitchen, called "Prabhu ki Rasoi", will start serving food in Saharanpur from August 9. Initially, it will feed 300 poor people, according to an Economic Times report.
