  "account": "Mysuru has been chosen as one of 17 cities to host a dedicated street food hub under the Prime Minister's Street Vendor’s AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi) scheme. This initiative, led by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, aims to support street vendors, enhance food safety and hygiene, and boost tourism by promoting local cuisine.\n\nThe proposed hub in Mysuru will feature food stalls, seating areas, drinking water facilities, toilets, proper lighting, signboards, solid waste management systems, and digital payment options. Additionally, it will ensure compliance with food safety standards. These improvements are anticipated to benefit vendors, increase their earnings, and provide tourists with a more enjoyable experience of Mysuru’s culinary offerings.\n\nMysuru’s selection is particularly noteworthy due to its renowned culinary heritage, strong tourism potential, and status as a clean city. The project is expected to not only support local food businesses but also enhance the city’s appeal as a tourist destination. It aligns with the government’s broader goals of improving urban amenities, promoting cleanliness, and strengthening the livelihoods of street vendors through the PM SVANidhi framework.\n\nMysuru City Corporation Commissioner M. K. Savita emphasized the significance of this project in showcasing the city’s traditional food and culinary culture to a wider audience.
