Students pursuing nursing, physiotherapy, paramedical and allied courses at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams’ (TTD) Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS University) will get free meals daily, with the management opening a new kitchen to take the extra load.
Around 800 students will be provided with food—breakfast, lunch, evening snacks and dinner— as ‘Srivari Anna Prasadam’ free of cost, and the system of collecting ₹3,500 from the students for food through a canteen contractor will be discontinued.
