Improve the quality of Annaprasadam

TTD free food is taken by lakhs of pilgrims in the name of Venkaeshwara Prasadam. Since the funds of the SV Nitya Annaprasadam, Trust has crossed ₹1502 crore and it has become self-reliant now, TTD has stopped giving grants to Annaprasadam since 2018.

To provide tasty and healthy Annaprasadam to the multitude of visiting pilgrims, TTD now intends to provide more nutritious food to devotees with organic vegetables produced from Natural Farming techniques.

A meeting was convened with Organic Vegetable Farmers of Rayalaseema Region recently by TTD.

During normal days the MTVAC functions between 9 am to 11 pm while during important festival occasions like Garuda Seva and Vaikuntha Ekadasi, 8 am till 1 am the next day.

With its tireless services, the Annaprasadam wing of TTD is being credited as “Akshaya Patra”-the divine never depleting food supply vessel, serving millions and millions of pilgrim public with delicious food items.

The funds keep pouring for the free food being served here in Tirumala. But there is every need for the TTD to improve the quality of food on a daily basis. Good curd should be served. The sambar must have more of dal in it.

Most of the items rice and vegetables are given by the donors on a daily basis.
