The Telangana state government has launched a beneficial program for the state’s physically handicapped residents, older persons, and those in need. After the successful launch of the Annapurna Rs. 5 meal program in the twin urban regions, the Telangana government has now established the Mobile Annapurna Canteen to serve a meal to the state’s indigent, elderly residents, and PWD citizens. Several individuals are unable to acquire meals at the Annapurna canteen. The Annapurna Canteen on Wheels will be helpful to them. The state government has started an initiative called Mobile Annapurna Meal to aid the poor. The beneficiaries of this Mobile Annapurna Canteen Telangana State program will receive cooked meals for just Rs. 5. With the help of a smartphone application, they may order the meal or feast, and it will be delivered to their house. So, those in need will be able to quickly access food at home.

What foods are Included in this Scheme?
With the successful completion of the Mobile Canteen Annapurna project, which was launched six years ago, the government has begun this Hyderabad Annapurna Canteen project. The Telangana state government’s Annapurna meal program offers hot, clean food to impoverished, needy, and oppressed groups of society for only Rs 5.
There are only a few options on the menu: Idli and Pongal for breakfast, three different rice dishes for lunch, and chapattis with dal for the evening (the chapattis come for 3 rupees each with free dal). These canteens, a cutting-edge charity program, became instantly popular with the urban underprivileged. The employees could now fill their bellies for as little as Rs. 10, compared to their former lunches at private restaurants costing Rs. 40–50.
Objective
The state government wants to ensure that no one goes without food via the Mobile Annapurna Canteen program. With a meal costing only Rs. 5 under the Annapurna Meal Plan, everyone can afford it. Even a beggar, an unemployed teenager visiting patients, or someone moving to the city in search of work can get food at Mobile Annapurna Canteen. The Mobile Annapurna Canteen Telangana program was established by the Telangana state government for all those who are genuinely in need. Even a student who travels to the city for a test can eat in the afternoon at the study facilities without spending time preparing meals at their lodging. So, the Telangana food program is advantageous in a different way.
