Nara Bhuvaneswari donatesRs 1 cr to Anna Canteens

For the maintenance of Anna Canteens that are being relaunched on Thursday, Nara Bhuvaneswari, wife of CM Chandrababu Naidu, donated Rs 1 crore from the NTR Trust.
Bhuvaneswari handed over the cheque to the Minister for Municipal Administration, P Narayana, at her residence in Undavalli. Fondly recalling that TDP founder NT Rama Rao’s slogan was providing food, clothing and shelter to the poor, Bhuvaneswari said she is extending her support to this programme which was launched with the inspiration of NTR.
“Providing food at Rs 5 through Anna Canteens is certainly a great initiative,” she said, and expressed the hope that the canteens will always help those in need. Bhuvaneswari thanked the State government which is implementing various welfare programmes to improve the living standards of the poor and wished that more such programmes should be taken up by the rulers.
