Amma Canteen is an innovative initiative started by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. This is supposed to be a place where we get breakfast, lunch as well as dinner items for a very affordable cost.

Had breakfast at Amma Canteen at Alandur in Chennai and it was an excellent experience. For the lowest price point anywhere in India (I might even say anywhere in the world), the cleanliness, taste and quantity can match any other food establishment. In fact, it is much cleaner and better than many other so called ‘restaurants’ in the city. My total cost of breakfast was Rs.5, which is less than 10 cents (US).

I wish such innovative idea can be replicated in the schools run by the Governments so that the standard of education in the Government schools go up.

Hats off to the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and her team for such an innovative idea.
