Centralized Kitchens

A centralized model is one where all the cooking activities of a particular location are

concentrated within one large kitchen.

10 kitchens are ISO 22000: 2005 FSMS certified

Minimum human intervention

Each centralized kitchen has the capacity to

cook between 50 000 to 150 000 meals daily

While rice and lentils are cooked in large steam heated cauldrons, rotis are rolled and puffed in customised roti making machines.

Meals are transported in custom built vehicles which can keep the food hot till it is served

Decentralized Kitchen

Decentralized kitchens are set up in remote areas of the country where difficult terrain makes setting up of large infrastructures infeasible.

Cooking take place in an area close to the school itself.

Practice sustainable development by creating self help groups.

Self help groups are formed to carry out cooking process

Enhances socio - economic status by providing employment to local women.
