Alwar (Rajasthan) :When the impact of Covid pandemic was at its height, all sections of people suffered a lot. Especially, the poorer and needy sections of society faced greater difficulties. At such a time, the youth of Alwar in Rajasthan formed a group, launched a campaign and provided food to the needy.
Vision Sansthan organisation started this feeding campaign in the second wave of Coronavirus and continues it even today. More than one thousand people eat food at their stall every morning and evening. You will be shocked to hear the price of this food, because the organization charges only one rupee for it. This organization has so far provided food to more than 12 lakh people.
Feeding the needy: Himanshu Sharma, member of Vision Sansthan, said that during the Corona period, the youth implemented the idea of feeding food to the needy people. At that time we did not believe that we would be able to continue this work. But our campaign got public support and today it is running continuously for 1,053 days without any stop. In the initial times, we had arrangements to feed a small number of people. At that time, the price of food was kept at Rs 10, but today this price is Rs 1.
Himanshu said that when the campaign started during Covid period, they came to know that there were many people who were not able to get even one meal a day. At that time, 138 people joined their team. Then they decided that if they did not get public support, then everyone would bring a little food from their homes and distribute it among the people. But from the very beginning of the campaign, they got public support.
People's participation: Now people bring their children here so that they can serve in this campaign. Himanshu said that food arrangements are made here for the candidates from other districts appearing in any government exam. Tourists coming from outside and staff engaged in conducting the elections also eat food here.
