Women self-help groups, accompnied by Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis met Brihanmumbai Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta on Tuesday to demand relaxation in conditions stated in the tender of mid-day meals. Every year, the BMC hands over contracts to women self-help groups to provide mid-day meals to students. How can self-help groups afford so much area in a city like Mumbai?" "Another condition requires a yearly turnover of Rs 50 lakh, which is also not possible for the women groups. Some of the rules can't be accomplished in big cities and has to be modified," said another woman, who works closely with these self-help groups.
