100 Food Streets Initiative

April 22, 2023

Ministry of Health and Family welfare, in partnership with Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, (MoHUA) has proposed the development of 100 food streets in 100 districts across the country.
To be implemented as a pilot scheme, it aims to promote safe and healthy practices in the food industry, reduce food-borne illnesses, and improve overall health outcomes.
This initiative will support the “eat right campaign” and food safety and enhance the credibility of local food businesses.
The initiative will be implemented through the National Health Mission (NHM) in convergence with the MoHUA and with technical support from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
States and Union Territories will receive financial assistance of ₹1 crore per food street/district, with assistance under the NHM provided in the ratio of 60:40 or 90:10, subject to standard branding according to FSSAI guidelines.
