Shiv Bhojan Scheme

Maharashtra Food and Civil Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal on Tuesday said food items served to the poor under a government scheme will be given as takeaway parcels in view of the COVID-19 restrictions currently in force in the state.

The actual value of food items per thaali under the Shiv Bhojan scheme, which offers a full meal for Rs 10 to the poor, is Rs 50 and Rs 35 in urban and rural areas, respectively, the Maharashtra Legislative Council was informed on Friday.

The Maharashtra government has asked the BMC-run Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking to provide two buses to convert into mobile canteens for the Rs 10 per meal ''Shiv Bhojan'' scheme, said an official on Tuesday.

The Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government on Sunday launched its much-awaited ''Shiv Bhojan'' scheme, which is aimed at providing a meal to the poor for just Rs 10, on the occasion of the 71st Republic Day.
