Nara Bhuvaneshwari has recently made headlines for her substantial philanthropic contribution to the Anna Canteens initiative in Andhra Pradesh. In a heartfelt gesture, she donated 1 Crore rupees through the NTR Trust, which she oversees. This donation is a key part of the effort to relaunch Anna Canteens, a program designed to provide three meals a day at a minimal cost of 5 rupees per session to those in need. The canteens are set to reopen on the eve of Independence Day, marking a significant return of a beloved service.

Bhuvaneshwari’s donation is deeply rooted in her family's legacy of service. She highlighted that the concept of Anna Canteens was inspired by her father, the late Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR), who was known for his commitment to social welfare. The donation underscores Bhuvaneshwari’s dedication to continuing her father’s mission of aiding the underprivileged and supporting societal welfare initiatives.

Chandrababu Naidu, her husband and Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, has also supported the reopening of the canteens, which were discontinued five years ago by the previous administration. The first Anna Canteen will open in Gudivada, with Pawan Kalyan inaugurating another in Kakinada. Bhuvaneshwari's generous contribution and Naidu’s commitment to this program highlight a strong focus on social responsibility and community support, ensuring that the initiative will make a meaningful impact on the lives of the state’s needy population.
