Many people like students, medical attendants, ambulance drivers, security guards are also not in a situation to cook food on their own. In these times, a womens group in Kerala, has started an affordable lunch program. Every day, the women cook and pack about 500 lunches a meal of rice, pickles, three types of curries and a vegetable stir fry, which is available for only Rs. 20 ($0.25) per pack. For many people these affordable lunches are the only way to get a wholesome meal during the day. The women had no experience of running a big kitchen or a program at this scale, they were hesitant when they started but as they saw how the program was helping many, they felt happy and were motivated to keep it going.
