Civic body to mobilise funds for sustainable management of project
The Kochi Corporation plans to widen the service of its popular eatery, Samridhi@Kochi, from where one can have a noon meal at an amount as low as ₹10.
During the first five days of its operations, the eatery offered food to 10,350 persons. The project, which aims to create a hunger-free city, is being implemented without spending money from the coffers of the civic body. The subsidy offered by the State Government, contributions from individuals and Corporate Social Responsibility funds of various agencies are utilised for the project, said Mayor M. Anilkumar.
Besides offering meal for the needy at ₹10, the project provides employment to women of Kudumbashree self-help group. “The workers need to be paid a respectable salary. The corporation has created a separate bank account for mobilising funds for the sustainable management of the project,” he said.
