Since March 30, the administration authorities of the state’s second largest district have been running 683 community kitchens. The community kitchens cater to around 45,000 people — 24,000 families — daily, chief development officer Ajay Dwivedi said. Around 40% of the kitchens are in remote villages in rough terrains like Dudhi, Ghorawal, and Myorupur. Some is also used in the community kitchens. Opened in the compounds of primary schools, those employed in making mid-day meals are now cooking food for the larger community in the villages.
