    Strange position of govt.. While advocating privatisation is also getting into running restaurants.. Best would be .. Encourage private entrepreneurs.. facilitating darshinis type ( sea food )..finance .. low cost designs on simple outlets / advice ..etc etc etc generate employment.. There are very many ideas which experts can give ......but restaurant by govt will end up with bureaucracy.. corruption etc ..

    Solve the issue of fish famine also. Consumption of the fish is done without even "Mathsya Darshini" restaurants.
