National Restaurants Program

Poverty is biggest obstacle in our country India. Worst face of poverty is starvation and malnutrition. Rural and tribal areas in India face the worst forms of starvation, malnutrition and poverty.

I propose to the Government of India and all the State governments to start ‘National restaurants program’ in Hyper-Rural and Hyper-Tribal areas. Under this program, a particular government’s office (ie: schools) would set up a standard size restaurant with a standard size store yard, standard size kitchen, standard equipments and standard staff, potable water facility.

Neither ‘National restaurants’ nor the program have any name after any leader or any such, just ‘National Restaurants Program’ and ‘National Restaurants’ be used.

The restaurant would serve free meals two times a day to all those who may come in. The facility should be free to all, without any reservations or let. Both local people and travelers can demand food at the National Restaurants free of cost.

The food should meet the basic requirement,

basic amount (weight) and basic nutritional value. The food should be as simple and basic as possible, remember the motive here is just to deal with starvation and malnutrition. The food should be pure vegetarian, so that no needy person avoids it on religious or other grounds. Simultaneously potable water facility should be available, which too would be free of cost.

The servings should be supplied on use and throw paper plates, or any recyclable plates and glasses. The facility should be provided only on the spot and should not have delivery system. Only special cases should have delivery at home facility (extremely handicapped or extremely old). The two meals timing should each have 3 hours (12 noon to 3 pm) long duration in afternoon, and 3 hours (7 pm to 9 pm) long duration at night. No identity or registration be required, just come and get served principle be undertaken. Once again, food should be vegetarian, simplest, basic nutritious with potable water.

Government of India should start the program in its initial phases in about 100 most hyper-rural and hyper-tribal areas around the country. Centers should be equally distributed in maps to make program nationwide. State government too can start in about 50 most hyper-rural and hyper-tribal areas under their jurisdiction but they should not be those which are selected by Central Government of India. One area one ‘National Restaurant’ principle be employed. The mesh of National restaurant by this would become dense.

It should directly be under control of local magistrate or such similar officer. More than one check-up agencies be employed to overlook if the program is running as per regulation and to check any discrepancies. Media should also be welcomed in its checks.
