Amma Amudam

The Amma brand in Tamil Nadu is getting bigger each day. After Amma canteens, vegetable outlets, drinking water and pharmacies, the government will set up Amma Amudam outlets to sell groceries and other essential commodities across the state. Making the announcement in the state assembly, Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa said that, the government will open 300 Amma Amudam outlets across the state at a cost of Rs.37.17 crore. These new outlets will be opened in addition to the existing 114 cooperative outlets and 23 Amudam outlets.

Currently, there are 20 Amudam outlets in Chennai and suburban areas besides the three outlets in Cuddalore district. The commodities sold in these outlets are cheaper and qualitative. The idea is to open similar outlets in the districts with brand Amma.
