Anna Canteens were first introduced under the TDP government in 2014-19. However, the YSR Congress Party stopped this initiative when it came to power in 2019. Now, after assuming power recently, NDA restarted these canteens.
Initially, the government planned to launch 203 Anna Canteens at a time. However, due to logistical reasons, 100 were launched in the first phase. The remaining canteens will be launched in a phased manner.
