Helping hand from Amma unavagam for the diabetics

Among the basic needs of a human is food. Mahathma Gandhi once said, “There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.” That’s absolutely true. A plate full of food at your hungry hours becomes your god. Just with the same understanding and realization, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, J.Jayalalitha introduced Amma canteens across Chennai city.
It has been an year since its inception and there have been continual improvements and introductions here. The recent one is the inclusion of Chappathi. Two chapathis with a dal fry costs just Rs 3. Increasing number of diabetes patients from the lower income group can certainly make use of it and get their tummy quenched. Thanks to CM who understands the needs of poor and takes necessary measures! To remind, introduction of chappathies was in pipeline for some time and it was in the recent announcement in the assembly that the final conclusion on it was done.
In addition, the CM also inaugurated various projects of municipal administration and water supply department that are altogether worth Rs 548.67 crore. Two more Amma unavagam outlets were also opened at the Stanley hospital and government hospital for women and children, Egmore.
