Right to Food ensured by this Roti Bank -Surabhi Katyal

-TheBetterIndia.com

A group of 5 elders and 40 youth have begun an initiative to provide food to over 400 people by collection and distribution in one of the country’s poorest districts.

Poverty is a big bad monster that India is facing and one of its subsequent results in hunger. People constantly underestimate it. Though I have heard quite a few people say that  one should consider oneself privileged to be able to eat food, and be able waste it; it is seldom that there is an organized effort to battle this nagging issue. Sure, you give food away to beggars at times, but the current world has made us suspicious of the homeless too. We do not know who is genuine and who is not, who needs help and who is just a con. A leap of faith is all we can take, but only faith cannot right things, we need to act. And this group did exactly that.

Mahoba is one of Bundelkhand’s most backward districts. But we still insist that you visit it, or at least read about the ingenious ‘bank’ that a few volunteers have come up with. The ‘roti bank’ gives home-cooked rotis and vegetables to the needy every day and is managed by a group of 5 elders and 40 youngsters.
