@eitan: I started this day by heading to tour the kitchen at the Bihar State Institute of Mental Health and Allied Sciences to see the Didi Ki Rasoi initiative in action. This program is cooking and kitchen based, so you can imagine how excited I was to meet everyone and learn more about the work they do! Didis are women part of a Self Help Group, who have come together to serve the community through a group-owned catering business, and early a salary in a sustainable consistent way. Didi Ki Rasoi fill the kitchens of medical facilities throughout Bihar, and through program training, develop healthy, home-cooked menus, maintain strict hygiene protocols, and provide delicious, nourishing meals to hospital in-patients and their visitors across Bihar. Didis are women who were already excellent home cooks for their families, so taking this existing skill set and turning it into something that gives them autonomy and financial stability shows how strategic and accessible the program is. #India #cooking #roti #indiancooking
