PNS | Ranchi
Want to relish your favorite street food under a beautiful red and white coloured umbrella without thinking about the monsoon miseries?
The newly designed push carts have hit the streets of the city. Eco-friendly and hygienic carts have been developed to begin a new era of relishing street foods without any threat of stomach disorders.
Street food stalls of the city are all set to have a modern look with the newly inaugurated and eco-friendly push carts rolling over the city roads from Sunday. The venture named as ‘Street India, changing lives forever’ has been initiated by a city based young and innovative Ranchiite, Tanishk Shyamya.
Attractively designed push carts by a group of IITians and recipes prepared by hotel management students, these carts are sure to be eye-candies for people of the city. Around 27 carts have been designed to begin business on the roads and each cart will be manned by two persons.
These carts were inaugurated by the Union Minister for Food Processing Industries at Argora Maidan on Sunday. Appreciating the work put up by Tanishk he said that the initiative was good. The ministry was also planning for an idea like this during 2005-06, but could not implement it.
“This attempt of mine is to generate livelihood for the 2.5 per cent of Indian population, which comprises street vendors. They are unemployed and uneducated, having no clue to run a good business. This made me think more and more for them and I came up with this project. I mobilised them before the beginning of the project to gather crowd by going to their residential areas,” recalls Tanishk.
Those hard days have paid and now she is satisfied with the endeavor and is planning to launch the same project in New Delhi, before the Common Wealth Games, 2010.
The carts have earthen pots, packaged water and bowls made of leaves to maintain proper hygiene. The main recipes decided for the city street food lovers are Litti-chokha, golgappa, Chinese food and tea.
