A ₹10 meal in Chennai inspired by Ramu Thatha

Mukesh Khubchandani, a Chennai businessman, has replicated the budget canteen that was run by S. Ramu, fondly called Ramu Thatha, in Madurai, and is selling meals for ₹10.
Ramu Thatha, who passed away a few months ago, ran the budget hotel along with his wife R. Pooranathammal near the Anna bus stand in the temple city. “The day I read about the death of Madurai’s Ramu Thatha (meaning grandfather), who served meals for ₹10, I was impressed by his life journey. That is when I thought when a poor man can do this for several decades, why not me,” said Mr. Khubchandani, who is also president of the All India Electronics Association, Chennai.

😲 ₹10 rupees meals

[@rainbow7x11]

Sir,
Best wishes for your service to the society.
Why don't you mechanise packing. It is easy. Also kindly raise the base price to RS. 20.
It is the cost price and will reach needy people.

[@MsAchu21]

How come it's possible..it's a great job,but I wonder how they do it just for 10/-..kudos 🙏🙏

[@kesavarapusateesh]

S, it's very surprising!
Thou itt once used to be a collective responsibility/ philanthropic actS, collective in the sense more individuals used to do the same in various regions mostly with flourishing fields n water sources!
Eg: Andhra Pradesh also known as Annapurna for kinda acts.

[@paarthdhuri6485]

I would be better if he didn't pack the
food in plastics..

[@sv6856]
