Read the passage given below and complete the sentences that follow :
A 'dabbawala' is a person in Mumbai whose job is to carry and deliver freshly made food from home in lunch boxes to office workers. They are formally known as MTBSA (Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Association), but most people refer to them as the 'dabbawalas'. The 'dabbawalas' originated when India was under British rule. Since many British people who came to India did not like the local food, a service was set up to bring lunch to their offices straight from their homes.
Today, businessmen in modern Mumbai use this service and have become the main customers of the dabbawalas. By delivering to each employee his tiffin or lunch, the dabbawalas solve the problem for an estimated 200,000 people. They charge between Z 150 to Z 300, per dabba per month, depending on the location and the collection time.
They are an incredible team. They have a record of no strikes against management. They are always on time, even through the rainiest days on the planet. Their creativity and ingenuity have kept them alive. When telephone services were at a premium in India, the dabbawalas encouraged housewives to use their system to communicate with their spouses by placing little chits inside their boxes. The husbands enjoyed the chits as much as the food. Thus, the dabbawalas were able to "think outside the box" and have broaden their capabilities in a very limited infrastructure. 'Dabbawalas' have also embraced technology. On March 25, 2006, 'the dabbawalas' went online with www.mydabbawala.com, the dabbawalas have become icons of hard work and dedication. In fact, the 5,000 strong workforce (there are a handful of women) is so well-known that Prince Charles paid them a visit during his recent trip to India.
