Food is one of the basic necessities of life.On an empty stomach we cannot even pray so says a Hindi proverb ....Bhuke pet bhajan na hoye Gopala.
Recently ,the Food Security Bill was passed by Parliament to provide rice ,wheat & coarse grains to the teeming poor, at subsidised prices.
The Government has initiated the mid day meal scheme in schools across India.Under this ,primary & upper primary school children get to eat hot cooked meals in schools.The Government estimates,that it is the largest school feeding scheme, worldwide.It feeds 120,000,000 across India.
Akshaya Patra has been doing exemplary work with the Government, to provide hygienic & nutritious mid day meals to school children.
This video of the commendable work done by Narayanan Krishnan is from "The Better India " site .
Narayanan Krishnan has been feeding the poor & homeless in Madurai,Tamil Nadu. He was a chef at Taj Hotels,Bangalore.One day ,he witnessed a man eating his own faeces .That made him give up his job & start his feeding programme.He was one of the top 10 hereos of the CNN,2010 list.His heroism has inspired a character in a film as well.
A lot of food gets wasted in parties,weddings,etc.Many of us, are unable to eat all that is there, in our lunch boxes .Towards this end, a green effort has been started in Mumbai, by initiating the Share My Dabba campaign.In this ,the left over food that remains in dabbas is distributed to cater to the growling tummies of street children.
We must cook only that much which we can consume.We must buy only what is needed.Only then, will food be available to satiate the hunger of all.This will be a green effort.It will bring peace to the hunger pangs across the world.That will be greenpeace !
