Bhubaneswar, April 5: The State Government Monday decided to open three more Aahar centres in Cuttack city from April 14.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had launched his Government’s much-hyped subsidised Aahar scheme on the occasion of the State’s Foundation Day last year in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Berhampur, Sambalpur and Rourkela in the first phase.
The Chief Minister had launched the scheme in two towns — first at the Capital Hospital premises in Bhubaneswar followed by Government Hospital in Rourkela.
The meal consisting of rice and dalma ( a special Odisha dish) is being provided at Rs 5 with financial assistance from three State run corporations and Tata Steel.
Each Aahar outlet caters nearly to a thousand people daily between 11 am and 3 pm.
