Union Minister and North Mumbai MP Piyush Goyal today inaugurated “Mauli – the very first All-Women Operated Clean Street Food Hub” in Kandivani near Mumbai. Referring to the uniqueness of this hub, which is entirely managed by women from Self-Help Groups (SHGs), Union Minister Piyush Goyal informed that these women have received training under the Food Safety Training and Certification (FoSTaC) program, and are now capable of running clean, safe, and hygienic food businesses.
He added that this initiative has not only provided women with a dignified means of livelihood but has also strengthened local entrepreneurship. He also underlined that the Clean Street Food Hub is a fine blend of food safety, women’s empowerment, and community development. Describing this as a proud moment to him, Mr. Goyal expressed confidence that, like every home trusts aajji’s Dibba, this hub will be trusted by every Mumbaikar. Piyush Goyal stressed that FSSAI’s role for safety and trust is vital, with 405 certified hubs, 13 lakh+ vendors trained all over the country.
