Background of Anna Canteen Scheme
NTR Anna Canteen Scheme was firstly launched in the year 2016 under the previous Telugu Desam Party (TDP) rule. The first such canteen was started on a pilot basis in Amaravati in June 2016. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were provided to the poor people at nominal price of Rs. 5 per meal which means only Rs. 15 in total for 3 times food in a day. Then under the rule of Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, this scheme was stopped after the contract of a non-governmental organisational (NGO) running Anna Canteen was not renewed.
The closure comes two months after Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP lost power to arch rival, Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in the year 2019. Akshaya Patra Foundation, the NGO, cooked and supplied food to 200-odd Anna Canteens across the state. Their contract came to an end and there was no communication from the new government to continue further. So, the NGO stopped the food supply and surrendered all the material to municipal corporations.
