Mysuru: After Anna Bhagya scheme of the State Government, Indira Canteen is another ambitious scheme that has received good response. Though Opposition parties are criticising the government that this programme was launched in view of the forthcoming Assembly elections, there are many who say that it is helping the poor in fighting hunger.
In spite of all the flak, the fact remains that the government, by spending public money and through Indira Canteens, is providing subsidised food for the needy. Financial experts say that canteens are a useful response to high inflation. Fixed price meals can protect the urban poor from the brunt of inflation, they say.
