The Story in Brief
Nearly 400 Kudumbashree women entrepreneurs across Kerala will prepare Onasadya meals for this year’s Onam celebrations. Customers can order in advance and choose the dishes and payasams they want. Prices start at Rs.170, with a minimum order of five sadyas.
The meal includes rice, traditional curries, accompaniments, snacks, fruit and payasam. Orders are also being accepted for ada prathaman, palada prathaman and parippu payasam, starting at half a litre. Bookings have opened through district mission and community development society offices, as well as a call centre. Meals will be supplied by the nearest Kudumbashree entrepreneur. Organisations can also place bulk orders for Onam events.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that a low starting price must mean a complete festive meal is available to everyone, or that women’s collectives can absorb any volume of bulk orders. Neither follows from the announcement. Customers must order at least five sadyas, and supply depends on nearby entrepreneurs. The useful test is practical: whether district offices can fulfil bulk bookings on time while maintaining the promised menu and quality. That will matter more than the promotional price.
