New Delhi: The Delhi government on Wednesday launched the Atal Canteen scheme, under which nutritious meals will be served for just Rs 5 per plate at 100 locations across the national capital. As part of the first phase, 45 Atal Canteens have been opened, while the remaining 55 will be inaugurated in the coming days.

The initiative was launched by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on the occasion of the 101st birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The scheme aims to provide affordable food with dignity to the poor, labourers, and low-income families.

“Atal Canteen will become the soul of Delhi, a place where no one should have to sleep hungry,” the chief minister said at the launch event.

Each canteen will serve two meals a da, lunch from 11 am to 4 pm and dinner from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm, catering to around 500 people daily. The Rs 5 thali will include dal, rice, chapati, a seasonal vegetable and pickle.

To streamline distribution, the Delhi government has introduced a digital token system in place of manual coupons. All Atal Canteens will also be monitored through CCTV cameras, with real-time oversight via the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board’s (DUSIB) digital platform.
