Chennai Corporation to ask govt. to reconsider outsourcing operations for CM’s Breakfast Scheme
The Chennai Corporation will request the Tamil Nadu government to reconsider its order on outsourcing the operations of the Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme. This decision was announced by Commissioner J. Kumaragurubaran following opposition from councillors of the DMK’s alliance partners—the Congress, Communist Party of India, and Communist Party of India )—as well as the opposition parties AIADMK and the BJP during the general council meeting on Thursday, January 30, 2025. At the meeting, Commissioner Kumaragurubaran clarified that the food for the Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme was being prepared by self-help groups, not in Amma canteens, but through cloud kitchens operating at 35 locations for 356 Corporation schools. “Plans to outsource food preparation for the CM Breakfast Scheme must be dropped and should not be handed over to a private party,” he said.
