Majorly victimised population is below 5 years of age to which this evil problem is affecting. The number has almost doubled since after covid, skyrocketing the hunger level and recommendations of actions.

It is abysmal that with all the technology in agriculture and harvesting technique today we are still talking about hunger when India exports an enormous amount of cereals and stocked in godowns.
“This is not about just one city or one country and hunger never has only one cause. This is about the injustice to whole humanity when people sleep empty stomach on roads. We must not wait for the moment any longer to focus both on providing immediate lifesaving food and long-term support”, said Mr. Sandeep.
This non-profit organisation was established to help in the hunger eradication, education of needful and health of a weakling. They work for the integrated development of the community.
The foundations holds regular drive of food distribution of over 1000 food packets to the roadside folks regularly along with water in scorching heat and blankets in breezing winters.

Though food remains the focus, the NGO has also taken the initiative to educate children when Mr. Sandeep on one of his drive of food distribution asked a child playing around if he ever went to school and he denied.
