Haldiram’s, makers of traditional snacks and sweets, opened its first outlet in Andhra Pradesh, ‘Haldiram’s on Wheels’, on the premises of Vijayawada railway station on September 19 (Tuesday).
After Nagpur, Vijayawada is the second city in India where the Haldiram’s has opened a train-themed restaurant.
The restaurant, with the ambience of a luxury express train, was inaugurated by Haldiram’s chairman Shiv Kishan Agarwal and South Central Railway (SCR) Divisional Railway Manager (Vijayawada) Narendra A. Patil.
The seating capacity inside the coach is 46, while it is 64 in the space outside the coach, said G. Mangesh, Haldiram’s Manager (Operations), Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
“We are planning five more such train coach-themed restaurants in the country, with Mumbai getting three of them,” said Mr. Mangesh, adding that the restaurant of this style had been a hit among the food lovers in Nagpur.
“Vijayawada will get three more outlets soon. We are in the process of finalising the locations,” said Mr. Mangesh.
The restaurant serves 126 varieties of delicacies from across the country, under the company’s ‘India Ka Swaad’ concept. There is also an array of fusion dishes that combine traditional flavours with a contemporary twist, in addition to sweets.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
