There was opposition in Tirunelveli to the appropriation of governments funds to this scheme. As an example, the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation reported a loss of approximately ₹2.64 for an idli, ₹9.73 for a unit of sambar rice and ₹4.44 for a unit of curd rice, incurring a total loss of about ₹2.70 crore (US$350,000) a year. It has been reported that massive losses are incurred by corporations by offering food at very low rates. The dishes are offered at low prices: ₹1 for an idli, ₹5 for a plate of sambar rice, ₹5 for a plate of "Karuvapellai Satham" (Curry leaves rice) and ₹3 for a plate of curd rice. The food chains primarily serve South Indian food including idli, saambar rice, curd rice, pongal, lemon rice, curry leaf rice and also chappathi. Three of the ten canteens in Coimbatore are partially solar-powered. Our tailor-made menu is created to suit the plates of all our customers and will also give them an authentic taste of some of indias most popular regional dishes. It has been an inspiration for many states like Odisha, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh which later proposed similar schemes seeing its success.
