Labourers and daily wage workers coming to file their grievances and attend proceedings of the grievance cell every Monday, from places as far as 100 kms. in Vizianagram District, will henceforth not have to return empty stomach.
Seeing their hardships, the officers in the District Administration decided to contribute to the genuine cause, for providing meals to the petitioners at a subsidised rate. This initiative is known as the Meekosam Meals Scheme.
More than Rs 7 Lakh has been collected by way of donations from the district officers. For a meal worth Rs 28/-, Rs 10/- is collected from the petitioner and balance Rs 18 is directly paid to the owner of the canteen.
This initiative has resulted in sharp rise in the number of petitioners attending the grievance cell meetings.
The initiative has received the Skoch Crucible Award 2020.
Spandana is a public grievance redressal platform, an initiative of Government of Andhra Pradesh. Grievances raised through Spandana will be redressed in a specific time frame.
