Aahar Centre Turns a Saviour for SC-ST Hostel Boarders in Odisha Capital
Well, the Odisha government’s cheap meal scheme ‘Aahar’ is killing two birds with one stone. A bright example being some underprivileged students staying at a hostel run by the State government are regulars at ‘Aahar’ centre in capital city.
The reason being food served to them in their hostel is of poor quality with insects often found in them. Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) students staying at a boys hostel built under government’s ‘Akanksha’ scheme at Kalinga Nagar in city are often seen in queue at ‘Aahar’ centre near Sum Hospital which is located a few metres away from their hostel.
