CM KCR has suggested that the Government must take all initiative to supply healthy food products in various forms to the people of Telangana.
Telangana aims to inspire its citizens to make conscious choices about their food, leading to a healthier, more vibrant population.
“The objective is to encourage farmers to diversify into the cultivation of millets and also promote healthy eating habits among the denizens.
Accordingly, the TSAgros has joined hands with the Akshaya Patra Foundation for the establishment of nearly 50 millet outlets in the first phase including 10 outlets in the GHMC area and one or two outlets in each of the remaining 32 districts.
Around 68 varieties of millet products including traditional foods, biscuits, noodles and also raw millets will be sold through these outlets.
All the products will have FSSAI certification assuring their quality.
This will also benefit farmers from whom the Akshaya Patra Foundation will directly procure millets.
The establishment of these millet outlets offers an opportunity to empower women entrepreneurs across the State. The government will create a conducive atmosphere for female business owners to establish their units by supporting them in terms of investment, product supply and business management among others.
Further, TSAgros will facilitate unsecured loans amounting to Rs 5 lakh-Rs 10 lakh through banks to women entrepreneurs to start their business.
