A ₹8 crore centrally located kitchen was inaugurated in Karimnagar on September 16 to provide healthy breakfast to 49,025 students across 669 government schools and 11 junior colleges spread over 17 mandals. Managed by the Hare Krishna Movement Charitable Foundation, the facility will serve the Karimnagar, Husnabad, Choppadandi and Manakondur Assembly constituencies.
The launch, following a successful pilot in Kondangal in December 2024, has seen student attendance rise from 75% to 90% and punctuality and concentration improve. The state aims to expand the programme to 23,106 schools for around 17.72 lakh students, generating employment for approximately 25,000 people. Karimnagar MLA G. Kamalakar, Collector Chitra Mishra and HKMCF representatives attended the event.
