Piyush Goyal Inaugurates India’s First All-Women Operated Clean Street Food Hub in Mumbai

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. What makes this initiative unique is that it is entirely managed by women belonging to Self-Help Groups (SHGs) who have undergone specialised training under the Food Safety Training and Certification (FoSTaC) programme.

Goyal highlighted that these women are now fully equipped to run clean, safe and hygienic food businesses, thereby creating a dignified source of livelihood and strengthening local entrepreneurship.

The Union Minister also stressed the significant role of FSSAI in building safety and trust across India, noting that:

405 certified food hubs have been created
13+ lakh vendors have been trained under food safety standards
