The scheme was previously run with the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) covering 70% of the cost and the government contributing the remaining 30%. But the funding pattern to run the Indira canteen now has been revised. “Both BBMP and the state government will share 50% of the costs each. For Indira Canteens outside of Bengaluru, the government will cover up to 70% of the expenses, while the remaining 30% will be the responsibility of the respective city municipalities,” said CM Siddaramaiah last week.
