Nalgonda: A massive centralised community kitchen equipped to prepare and supply nutritious meals to nearly 60,000 students a day is being developed at Syedmujavarpet in Suryapet district, with efforts under way to make the facility operational within the next 100 days.

Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has contributed Rs 9.6 crore towards the project. It is being implemented with the support of the Hari Krishna Movement Charitable Foundation (HKMCF). The kitchen will serve around 1,029 government schools and junior colleges.

The project’s reach will extend beyond Suryapet district. Nalgonda District Collector B Chandrasekhar said 131 government educational institutions in Nakrekal, Sali Gouraram, Kethepally and Vemulapally mandals would be served by the Syedmujavarpet kitchen. These institutions together have 7,972 students.

Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy thanked SCCL for contributing Rs 9.6 crore under its corporate social responsibility programme. Once operational, the facility is expected to emerge as a model centralised kitchen, delivering nutritious food to thousands of students across Suryapet and adjoining areas of Nalgonda every school day.
