INTRODUCTION:

In 2013, the Tamil Nadu government has started a canteen service under the
supervision of the chief minister Smt. J. Jayalalitha. Amma Unavagam, the mother (amma)
canteen service is basically a chain of restaurants for the under privileged people of the
society. In this scheme people who are economically unstable are able to purchase food in
much cheaper rates than market price. The state government run scheme, Amma
Unavagam has already successfully completed 3 years and still continues to serve a large
portion of the state population.

OBJECTIVES OF AMMA UNAVAGHAM:

The financed food administration was sent off to help the needy
individuals who can't buy food from the market because of excessive cost. The help was
predominantly begun with the goal that nobody in the province of TN is left starved.
These eateries are spotless and clean. The point isn't just to give financed food yet to keep
up with a perfect and sterile climate so individuals will get new and good food.
There are a ton of chances for the ladies bunch in the state to snatch occupations in these
eateries. For the most part the assistance enlists ladies to cook for these natural pecking
orders. More the power source, the more the open position for the ladies gathering of the
general public.

AMMA UNAVAGHAM KEY FEATURES:

Amma Unavagam is the container administration by the state legislature of

Tamil Nadu to serve sponsored food to the financially more fragile gathering at a much
lower cost. The flask administration will b directed by the civil enterprise.
At the primary spot, the civil partnership of TN laid out various eateries in a few spots across
the city of Chennai. After Chennai, different urban communities were focused on and step
by step a lot of eateries are made under the plan.
There are all out 10 containers found in Coimbatore, among which three of them show sun
oriented power framework. So not just the food is accessible at a lower cost yet additionally
these flasks are devouring low power in the eateries.
The help was begun in 2013 and till now there are numerous examples of overcoming
adversity tracked down across the state. An enormous part of the state populace who are
monetarily frail is getting financed food at a much lower cost under this plan.
There is no action item administration accessible under this bottle administration. The
explanation is that the public authority needs to forestall the resale of the equivalent for
benefit rationale. These eateries are exclusively shown to the ladies stuff who have a place
for self-improvement gatherings. They are being paid Rs. 300/ - each day from the public
authority for their administrations.

LOCATIONS:

Chennai was the primary place where the cafés began laying out. Covering
200 wards, the established pecking order has begun its administration in Chennai since mid
of 2013. After the outcome of the Chennai chain, the public authority has then begun their
activities in 9 additional urban areas where you will track down Amma Unavagam Food
Administrations. Beyond what 20 cafés can be tracked down across these 9 urban
communities. These areas incorporate Madurai, Tiruchirapalli, Coimbatore, Titucorin,
Tirunelveli, Tiruppur, Dissolve, Salem and Vellore. There are three feasts accessible under
this plan, breakfast, lunch, and Supper. The hour of breakfast begins at 7 AM and finishes at
10 AM consistently. In the morning meal menu, you will get Inactively and Sambar and
Pongal. In the Lunch that beginnings at 12 pm and finishes around 3 pm you will get Curd
Rice, Sambar Rice, Curry Leaf Rice, and Lemon Rice. In the Coffee shop, you will get Chapatis
matched with dal or korma. The coffee shop time begins at 6 PM and finishes at 9 in the
evening.

SUCCESS STORY:

This bottle administration was begun in the year 2013 in Chennai. In

somewhere around 90 days of time, the help appeared to be developing and adoring by
individuals of the state. A safety officer calling let the main paper know that he and his
better half had quit eating at home as the expense is substantially more for custom-made
food than this eatery. On the other a boss from a privately owned business acclaimed the
Jayalalitha government by saying that destitute individuals can't buy food, they couldn't visit
lodgings to have food. In the event that this natural pecking order wasn't presented a
significant number of individuals would have left starved in the general public. The State
administration of Tamil Nadu is as yet getting a huge reaction from individuals from across
the state saying the pecking order is perhaps the best plan that has at any point happened
to the occupants of the state. Someone else from EWS portrayed that shockingly the flavor
of the food is greatly improved contrasted with the cost. Nearby tea slows down offers
Sambar rice at Rs. 7/ - per plate, while Amma Unavagam offers it at Rs. 5/ - per plate.
Obviously, the taste is preferable in Amma Unavagam over the nearby tea slows down. The
climate and the air are perfect and sterile which likewise draws in many individuals to the
eatery.

ISSUES WITH AMMA UNAVAGHAM:

However, the café network is serving an enormous piece of the under special
populace yet the public authority had confronted colossal misfortune while running the
help. The Amma's flask is offering food at most minimal cost for example Re. 1/ - per plate.
That implies on a normal the assistance is causing a loss of Rs. 10/ - per dinner which is Rs.
30/ - on the everyday schedule for every individual. Presently on the off chance that the
portion of the state eats food under this plan, the misfortune sum will be almost Rs. 100 Cr
(taking into account 7 Cr populaces in TN). That prompts Rs. 36, 500 Cr misfortune in a year
which is most certainly an enormous sum for the public authority. For this situation either
the public authority needs to chop down different costs like compensations of the public
authority worker or raise the cost of the food which isn't probably going to occur. Likewise,
there is an immense possibility of taking food by the stuff and organization as it previously
happened before in the late morning dinner conspire for the school kids laid out by
Ramchandran quite a while ago. So with this astounding and sponsored food administration,
the state government is most certainly having a ton of monetary issues.

CONCLUSION:

WHILE THE 'GUJARAT MODEL' Versus THE 'KERALA MODEL' Discussion

Proceeds, THE Headway THAT TAMIL NADU HAS MADE ON THE Financial FRONT HAS
Acquired Almost no Consideration. THE SOCIAL Organization OF ITS Kin (OF Ladies
Specifically) HAS Empowered A Sensibly FAIR Dispersion OF THE Advantages. Obviously,
THIS IS Simply A PUTATIVE Evaluation OF WELFARISM IN THE STATE, However TAMIL
NADU'S Capacity TO Consolidate Monetary Development AND Favorable to Individuals
Government assistance Strategies WITH Progress MERITS Nearer Examination.
