Family Having 4 members
 Facilities cost to govt.
organisation-
 1 day food for
children=100(50+50)
 For adult=200(100+100)
 Per family CTG=300 per day
 Per month=30*300=9000
 Medical facilities to a family=1000
per month.
 CTG per month=10,000
 CTG per family=10,000
 For 100 families=100*10,000
 Per month=10 lakh
 Note-After 2 months ,adults
should be provided employment.
 Out of 400,200 are parents
 Let average income of parent
be 3000Rs.
 50%taken by govt.=1500Rs.
 Per month amount returm to
govt.=200*15,00
 Return amount=3 lakh Rs.
Per Month
Estimation

11.  For 100 families CTG=
Rs.10lakhs
 If a City has average of 1000
families(4000 malnutrition
people),CTG= Rs.10,000Lakhs
 If there are 1000 such
cities,CTG=Rs. 1crore
 CTG For Education of
malnutrition children
 If city has average of 2,000
children,CTG=Rs.20,000 per
month
 For 1000 cities CTG=Rs.2 crore
 Total CTG=(1+7+2)=Rs.10 Crore/month
