Along with Planning Commission vice-chairman Vinod Kumar and former MLA Ch. Prabhakar, Ms. Rathod visited the Akshaya Patra mega kitchen at Kandi mandal headquarters to inspect the process. She said quality food is being supplied from the centre to cater to 1.24 lakh students. Referring to stray complaints of food getting cold while making it to far off places, she said it will be looked into by Principal Secretary and District Collector. She also suggested establishment of a few more centres to address the issue.
