Our Free Food & Mid-Day Meals Program
No hungry People concept was originally conceptualised by Mrs. S Mitra , who gave up his Corporate Career in the year 2000 to serve the Social Development Sector. Initially, he started with an idea of helping the Social Organisations in the area of fundraising to ensure that Social Programs do not take a back seat due to paucity of funds. With the help of kind hearted philanthropies, he started the Nutritious Meal Program in Bakura and realised that this concept should spread across the state then nation then the rest of the world. In doing so, Mrs. S Mitra also realised that he has to network with as many NGO’s as possible to ensure that this Nutritious Meal Program is implemented all across the country.
Pioneering No Hungry People Free Food Program is focused towards distributing hot, nutritious and fresh food to poor, needy & hungry children across pockets of poverty in India. We have a daily nutritious meal coverage of more than 20,000 hungry & underprivileged People and our daily food distribution regimen is smooth, efficient and dependable – 365 days a year.
Our belief is that the Nutritious Meal Program has an important “socialisation role”. Food should be served in an organized, dignified, equitable, friendly manner. Towards this, our model Nutritious meals and free food program routine strictly observes the following serving rules:
People from underprivileged backgrounds to big hospitals for treatment often have a hard time facing many challenges. Poor patients and their caregivers usually skip their meals to save money. Mitralok Charitable Trust has been working closely to help these people by serving free, wholesome food. They fund daily meals of poor people outside Hospital.
- All our meals are served in a clean open space which has been swept in advance every day.
- All People are made to wash their hands with soap before eating.
- Adequate quantity is served with a second helping if required.
- Absolutely No wastage of food, with any extra food, if any, re-distributed to the needy.
- Safe and clean disposal of Paper Plates and Cups.
Strict hygiene is established and maintained at all kitchens being used to prepare these mid-day meal across India including:
- Mandatory cleaning and scrubbing of all vegetables used for cooking.
- Mandatory washing of hands before cooking.
- Mandatory cutting of nails by all food handlers.
- Purified water to be used for all cooking purposes by boiling, filtration or chlorination.
- Mandatory Hair covers or caps.
The core objectives are to strengthen the under privileged and economically backward rural population by actively implementing various Rural Development programs and creating awareness by setting up Knowledge centers and mobilizing community involvement though pro-active volunteers. This consistent and persistent implementation will bring about unprecedented improvement in the lives of rural citizens of India.
We are passionate in our dedication to the cause of feeding under-privileged children across India. Towards this, we have ensured a high quality food supply chain and an uncontaminated route by which fresh, hot meals are supplied daily in controlled gatherings. All our operations are quality certified and are open for inspection by our donors at any time.
