Preparing for the start of Maha Kumbh, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday inaugurated 'Maa Ki Rasoi,' a community kitchen scheme, providing a full meal for just Rs 9.

"The Nandi Sewa Sansthan has taken up this activity for economically weaker sections of the society. A person will be served with complete meals with only Rs 9, that would be served to a person through the dal, four rotis, vegetables, rice, salad, and dessert, " it added.
After the inauguration, Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta guided the CM to the kitchen, where meals are prepared. There, the CM was briefed about the quality of the food, hygiene standards and other arrangements.
