After the pre-project survey-6 regarding the market survey of the cost of raw materials, it is NOT POSSIBLE to sell any food item costing just Rs. 5/- per plate as Quality Management, Nutrition and Hygiene are the integral part of our KVKV School Canteen Enterprise strategy.

So, the KVKV School Canteen Enterprise should sell rich food full of Protein, carbohydrates, Vitamins, minerals and even fat.

Thus, the KVKV School Canteen Entrepreneurs have to undertake the responsibility of selling one food item every day during school recess which is nutritive and which doesn't cost more than Rs. 10/- per plate.
