Breakfast, lunch and dinner for just Rs 10

[Guest guest]

TIRUPATI:

 

SMS, don't get it wrong. It is not Short Message Service, but stands

for Subsidised Meals Scheme.

 

The unique programme of Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha (RSVP) will be

launched here on monday by Chancellor Janaki Ballabh Patnaik.

 

For just Rs 10, RSVP hostel students get breakfast, lunch and dinner

under the meals scheme.

 

You may wonder as to how is it possible in the days of high inflation.

The TTD has made it possible by extending financial assistance to RSVP

for implementing the scheme. Further, several philanthropists and

seers, including Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swamy, have donated rice worth

Rs 2.25 lakh for the programme.

 

SMS in the new avatar of Annadanam scheme has been initiated by RSVP

Vice-Chancellor HK Satapathi by donating 10 quintals of rice. Moved by

his gesture, the RSVP faculty has also started donating rice for the

programme. Having learnt about the novel initiative taken by RSVP for

the benefit of 800 hostel students, TTD Executive Officer KV

Ramanachary has announced TTD aid for the programme.

 

Otherwise, getting breakfast, lunch and dinner for a mere Rs 10 is

unimaginable in the days of high inflation.
