Google maps food option

All places shown under restaurant, cafe are pretty expensive.. They are not budget ... every place that shows up is place, where I need to order dal separately, rice separately... 70+ Rs for dal, the bele-kattu in Kannada.. Not my type..

Darshini's, the place unique to bengaluru almost don't pop-up in Google maps..

Indira canteen

Indira canteen is Karnataka state government’s initiative to provide subsidized food 5 Rs which is around 10 cents for breakfast, 10 Rs aka 20 cents for lunch & dinner each.

Bengaluru city corporation(bbmp) is tasked to do this.
Anybody is free to pay & eat, so there is no targeting for needy/poor/low income folks.

As with most services in our country, cost is the key selling point in Indira canteen, neither service not quality.

Modeled around similar initiative in neighboring Tamil Nadu state, Indira canteens are backed by the might of state, almost as a prestige issue.

A dedicated IAS officer (Manoj Ranjan) was tasked with all related tasks, facilities to prepare food, transport it, serving it, cleaning utensils, tabulating…..

Priority was given to open on Indian  independence day, by the big wigs of ruling party.

What’s charged for service is no where enough to provide the food-service.

Govt will bear the loss, which could be nearly double the cost being charged.

In essence, govt loses money each time a plate of food is served.

Govt is now competing with catering & restaurant businesses, in the garb of feeding the needy (govt’s word is urban poor, no more hungry bellies… )

Irony is

the quantity being served is strictly limited to less than needs of an adult

Total no of plates that’ll be served in a day is limited. (300 plates per session, 900 in a day)

Operation hours are 2 hours per feeding session.

All these limitations are due to the urge to feed at 5&10 Rs cost.

Govt had set the budget for current financial year at 100 crores. This amount will not be enough, looking at the way, eaters are jumping in.

Bbmp is competing with hotels & success of Indira canteen will lead to reduction of tax income from hotels.

Delicious irony or shooting itself in the feet.. Time will decide. Till then, from Bengaluru

Welcome to jan dhan troubles

Jan dhan account, the crown jewel of current administration... Is certainly not what it is shown up as.

My experience with it goes below:
Cash deposit can be done at home branch only

Any change in any of communication details(phone no. In this case) needs address proof (preferably aadhaar xerox)

Getting statement in passbook needs cross checks from teller, then passbook printing person.

Safety feature of transaction limit per year is 50,000 rupees. This will come to haunt you, if you place any spare cash here.

Person who prints passbook eats pretty heavy breakfast between 10:00 to 11:00. (Happened on 21 & 22 Aug 2017) you gotta wait. Welcome to India's most trusted bank.

One function is handled by only one person, others will be busy with mobile phone (2 guys busy with forwarding WhatsApp messages about ... Of all people Melanie Trump, other with tinder...) But won't chip in.
