Varanasi: According to officials, Prime Minister Modi will inaugurate and lay the cornerstone for development projects worth Rs 1,774 crore aimed at enhancing the infrastructure and quality of life during his visit. The LT College kitchen has the capacity to prepare lunch for 1 lakh pupils.

Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, responded to the opening by stating that all 11 locations suggested during the SP administration should begin utilizing kitchens.

"At the time of SP's rule, the Akshaya Patra Yojana was started for providing nutritious and hot food to students. In the last five years, the BJP government kept it closed.

But, now fearing the anger of students and the youth, it is compelled to start this scheme," Yadav said in a tweet in Hindi.
