Rajasthan government's Shree Annapurna Rasoi Yojana is serving nutritious meals at just Rs. 8 per plate to the poor and needy people across the state. This scheme was earlier known as Indira Rasoi Yojana and was renamed by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma in January 2024.
Shree Annapurna Rasoi Yojana works on the pledge that no one in Rajasthan sleeps hungry. The state government bears most of the meal cost through a grant of Rs. 22 per plate, while the beneficiary pays only Rs. 8.
Shree Annapurna Rasoi Yojana in Rajasthan
Shree Annapurna Rasoi Yojana is the new name of the Indira Rasoi Yojana launched in August 2020 by the earlier Congress government led by Ashok Gehlot. After the BJP government came to power in Rajasthan, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma renamed the scheme and started it from 6 January 2024.
The scheme now runs in all 240 urban bodies of the state through 1,000 kitchens. The government has kept the meal price at Rs. 8 per plate and raised the grant per plate from Rs. 17 to Rs. 22. The weight of each plate has also been increased to 600 grams.
Under this scheme, the state government spends about Rs. 250 crore every year. The target is to serve 2.52 lakh people every day and about 9.21 crore people in a year. This number can be raised further as per the requirement.
The kitchens are usually set up at railway stations, bus stands, hospitals, markets and government buildings. Local institutions and NGOs run the kitchens with the support of the urban local bodies. The district-level committee keeps a regular check on the quality of food.

हम दोनों 70 वर्षीय युगल है आज हमारे यहां खाना बनाने वाली नहीं आई इसलिए मैंने सोचा कि क्यों ना इतनी प्रशंसा वाली रसोई मैं खाना खाया जाए मैं मानसरोवर में मध्यम मार्ग बीटी रोड क्रॉसिंग वाली रसोई पर गया वहां देखा दाल में एक दाना दाल का नहीं था आलू की सब्जी में पूरी सब्जी में मुश्किल से एक 50 ग्राम कालू होगा रोटियों के बारे में मैं ज्यादा कुछ नहीं कह सकता मैंने वहां पर लिखे हुए रसोई अधिकारी से बात करने के प्रयास किया दो बार प्रयास करने पर और पूरी घंटे देने के बाद भी उसने फोन नहीं उठाया अभी मैं पढ़ रहा था कि सरकार ₹17 सब्सिडी दे रही है सारा खाना मैं सोचता हूं कि ₹8 से ज्यादा का नहीं था यह भी मैं अधिकतम मूल्य दे रहा हूं ऐसे में सरकार के सारे प्रयास नीचे स्तर पर जाकर जीरो हो जाते हैं राजस्थान मैं राजस्थान सरकार की इस योजना का स्वागत करता हूं किंतु कंप्लायंस को इंश्योर करना चाहिए जो भी अधिकारी है उन्हें यह बात माननी चाहिए कि सरकार इतना पैसा खर्च करना चाहती है पर कुछ हो नहीं रहा है इतनी स्कीमों को सुनकर मैं इस बार सोच रहा था कि इस सरकार को दोबारा आना चाहिए सरकार अपनी इस टीम से कंप्लायंस नहीं करवा पा रही है मेरा बेटा हैदराबाद में करीब 250 लोगों को रोज खाना खिलाता है केवल ₹10 चार्ज करता है और उसे वह खाना करीब ₹25 का पड़ता है वह मेरे पिताजी की याद में यह काम कर रहा है खाना इतना अच्छा होता है कि आसपास में आईटी प्रोफेशनल व अन्य व्यक्ति जैसे सोसाइटी में जहां मेरा बच्चा रहता है वहां रहने वाले कई बार अपने घर में खाना ना बनाकर वहां से खाना मंगाते हैं इस आधार पर मैं बड़ी आसानी से कह सकता हूं कि खाना इतना महंगा नहीं पड़ता जितना कि इंदिरा रसोई में ₹8 में तथा ₹ ₹17 की सब्सिडी में इतना अच्छा खाना खिलाया जा सकता है कि अगले चुनाव में कांग्रेसका आना निश्चित हो सकता है यह सब मैंने बोलकर लिखा है इसलिए गलती के लिए लिए मुझे माफ करें
राजस्थान में करौली जिले में रसोई को श्याम के 6 बजे ही बंद कर दिया जाता है । और कहा जाता है की टोकन खतम हो गए । कार्यकर्ता अच्छा व्यवहार भी नही करते ।
और स्वयं कार्यकर्ता खुद ही सब्जी व रोटी बचा लेते है अपने लिए और पब्लिक से बोलते है की खाना खत्म हो गया है ।
