GOVERNMENT ALSO TRYING CHEAP FOOD OUTLET IN MANY STATES
A newly launched Indira canteen in Horamavu ward of Bengaluru. Pic: Navya P KMany Indian state governments have
experimented with subsidised canteens over the last few years. The most
recent addition to this has been the Karnataka government launch of
‘Indira Canteens’ in Bengaluru this month (August 2017). According to
media reports, the canteens in most states have been very popular, a
fact borne out by the long queues often seen outside these. Intended for
the urban poor – mainly the destitute, elderly, unemployed, migrants
and the working poor – these canteens usually serve food for Rs 10 or
much less. The concept of subsidised food
canteens became especially popular after the success of Amma Canteens in
Tamil Nadu, launched by former CM J Jayalalitha in February 2013.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available in Amma canteens, at Rs 5 and
less. A 2013 survey,
by academics S Thangamani and M Maragatham, on Amma Canteens in Salem
found that 75% customers were satisfied with food quality, 44% with
drinking water, and 58% with the cleanliness of canteens. Officials from
foreign countries like Egypt have visited these canteens to study them.
At present, there are some 400 Amma Canteens in Chennai and about 250
in other municipalities of the state.
In Bangalore, 101 Indira canteens
have been launched already, and 97 will be inaugurated by October 2nd,
so that every ward in the Bangalore city corporation (BBMP) will have
one of these. The Indira Canteens will serve breakfast for Rs 5, and
lunch and dinner for Rs 10 each. Last December, the Rajasthan
government launched the Annapurna Rasoi scheme – 80 mobile kitchens that
serve breakfast for Rs 5 and meals for Rs 8, across 12 cities. Odisha has 111 Ahaar centres spread
across all 30 districts, and Telangana has 50 kiosks in Hyderabad since
2014, all of which serve meals for Rs 5.
Similarly, Andhra Pradesh launched
NTR Anna Canteens in June 2016 that serve food at prices of Rs 5 – 7.50.
Indira Amma Canteens were started in Uttarakhand in November 2015,
serving food at Rs 20 per plate. Jharkhand, which had launched canteens
back in 2011 and later closed them due to fund shortage, relaunched them
recently. This April, Madhya Pradeshlaunched
its Deendayal Rasoi Yojana, which serves meals at Rs 5. While these
states plan to expand their existing schemes, some others plan to
introduce similar schemes. Impact on urban poor Often termed ‘populist’, these
schemes nevertheless acknowledge a major gap in the food and nutrition
requirements of the urban poor, an increasing proportion of the overall
urban population thanks to increased migration. A 2011 policy note
by the M S Swaminathan Research Foundation and the UN’s World Food
Programme (UNWFP), says that one-fourth of the urban population in India
is undernourished and that poverty declines at a much lower rate in
urban than in rural areas. It notes that urban poverty is
multidimensional, with poor access to shelter, livelihood, sanitation,
health and education services etc. Notably, a large section of urban
workers are unorganised and earn less than minimum wages.The increasing
costs of agricultural produce and restaurant/street food affect this
section of the population and the urban poor in general severely. By
providing tasty, nutritious food directly, subsidised canteens can meet
their food needs to some extent. They can also free up a large part of
the earnings of the poor that is otherwise spent on food. The MSSRF-UNWFP policy note also says
that at the national level, only 13% and 6% of urban households
reported consuming rice and wheat respectively from the PDS system. In
Orissa, Bihar and Assam, about half the urban poor (those in the bottom
30% in terms of Monthly Per Capita Expenditure) did not even have PDS
ration cards. The canteens are very relevant in such scenarios where the
PDS (Public Distribution System) has low reach and suffers from huge
leakages.

Maragatham found that 58% of the surveyed customers had monthly income
of Rs 5001-10000, and 35% visited the canteens 4-6 days a week. Dr Mani’s interviews revealed that
customers were highly satisfied with Amma Canteens. They were mostly
daily wage earners, casual labourers, school children, abandoned
elderly, and low-salaried employees like delivery boys and sales staff.
They perceived they could eat reasonably balanced and healthy food,
served hot and hygienically. Some low-income migrants felt that
their food expenses had reduced a lot, allowing them to save and send
more money to their families. Media reports about canteens in other
states too mostly mention that customers are satisfied with the quality
and taste of food served. Not just the food… Tamil Nadu had pioneered the model of
employing women SHGs (Self Help Groups) from urban slums in the
canteens. Each canteen would employ at least 12 SHG members. Chennai
city corporation holds a week’s training for these SHGs in cooking,
cleanliness, customer service etc. Women, who previously used to do
menial labour such as domestic work, construction etc were employed by
the corporation for these canteens at a monthly salary of Rs 9000. Thus,
many who had been working as casual labourers for Rs 3000 a month,
putting in 8-9 hours of work daily with no holidays, nor any job
security, now enjoyed security as well as better working conditions. Dr Mani Arul Nandhi, Associate
Professor of Commerce at Jesus and Mary College, Delhi University, says
that employing SHG women proved to be critical to the success of Amma
Canteens. The professor had conducted a case study of the scheme in 2013-14. “These SHGs were already functional
and hence had social capital (social networks marked by reciprocity and
cooperation). They worked on the principle of cooperative management,
towards common goals. The SHG leaders ensured that there was clear
division of labour in the canteens. Training by the corporation ensured
that the food was of good quality and tasted the same in all canteens,”
she says. States like Uttarakhand and Jharkhand
also employ women SHGs to run canteens. Dr Mani opines that unlike
SHGs, private contractors may look at profits and try to cut costs,
viewing the scheme as a contract alone. Different states, different models The methods of running and financing
of the canteens vary across states. In both Bangalore and Chennai, the
canteens were set up in government buildings/land, thus reducing costs.
But as the saying goes, there ain’t no free lunches! In Bangalore, a private company and
an NGO are the service providers for the project. BBMP will reimburse
them monthly, based on the number of food tokens they issue. The cost of
breakfast, lunch and dinner per person for a day is Rs 57, of which
BBMP will pay Rs 32. About three lakh people are expected
to come to the Indira canteens daily. This adds up to monthly
operational costs of Rs 10 crore, and the state government has assured
disbursal of this amount to BBMP, says Special Commissioner Manoj Rajan.
However, Amma Canteens have been dwindling of late. A 2014-15 audit by the CAG found
that Chennai corporation was spending Rs 101 cr on Amma Canteens while
earning an income of only Rs 37.5 cr from them. The CAG report pointed
out that the state government supplied only subsidised rice to the
canteens, and did not make any budgetary provisions for them. Other issues related to corporations
setting up newer canteens in improper locations, and buying materials at
market rates rather than from government agencies. As per recent
reports, the Chennai corporation is planning to shut down many of these canteens. Dr Mani says that though these
canteens are an important welfare measure, the government cannot go on
subsidising them indefinitely. “Subsidies are justified so long as the
government can take the project to a sustainable mode eventually. Tamil
Nadu was considering getting CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) funds
from private companies. The governments should explore such options and
reduce the subsidy element, and this should not be a one-off thing,”
she says. The scale of projects and subsidies varies too. Telangana, for example, is reported to have provided meals to 12.5 lakh people in the first year, entailing an annual subsidy of Rs 11 cr.
Even Indira canteens reach out to only one percent of Bangalore’s
population when they serve one lakh people per meal; the percentage of
poor in the city is much higher. Amma Canteens are estimated to serve
2.5 lakh people daily. In Kozhikode district in Kerala, former Collector Prashanth Nair had initiated Operation Suleimani
that required no government funds. The public could give small amounts
that would be converted to food coupons. Those needing the coupons could
collect them from distribution centres and use it in a selected network
of hotels. Non-government initiatives In addition to government schemes,
various projects are run by smaller groups across the country to feed
the poor too. There are low-cost canteens like Kashtachi Bhakar in Pune,
started in 1974 by activist Baba Adhav; the city has 12 of these
canteens now. Bengaluru Meals Trust, a
volunteer-run initiative started in Bangalore last year, has a system
similar to Operation Suleimani. Here the public can donate money online,
which volunteers convert to coupons and distribute to the needy for use
in hotels. At its peak, the Trust used to feed meals costing Rs 40-50
to 150 people daily, but due to high administrative costs, currently the
project has been scaled down to serve 30-40 people. There are several food bank initiatives too. An example is the NGO Feeding India, a network across 45 Indian cities that collect leftover food from events and distribute it to the hungry. While these government and
non-government initiatives are a relief for the urban poor, a large
section is still left out and continue to suffer hunger and
malnutrition. Strengthening of government services and schemes for the
poor in general, and ensuring effective implementation would go a long
way in bridging this gap and meeting the basic needs of a larger section
of the population.
