Hyderabad: An Indira Mahila Shakti canteen, operated by a women’s self-held group (SHG) was inaugurated at the GHMC to offer subsidised food. Unlike Annapurna canteens, which offer food at Rs 5 per plate, Indira Mahila Shakti canteens offer breakfast as well as various dishes. Officials said the quality of food was better and prices lower as compared to commercial establishments. The GHMC head office canteen is being run by the Snehitha SHG of Jubilee Hills circle after getting `5 lakh financial assistance.
