Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad): He is a man with a mission, who is to satisfy the hunger pangs of the poor. He deserves kudos as he has been feeding the poor for the past nine years. Yusuf Makati established the 'Roti Bank' near Ganj Shaheedan Masjid in the Jinsi area of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad).
Yusuf Makati, who runs this 'Roti Bank', says that he has been running this Bank for the past many years, but he has never needed to cook the food, because the food for the bank comes from the function halls and homes. Every day many functions will be held in the city and we take the leftover food to serve the poor. Thus this Roti Bank is feeding many poor. There are four branches of Roti Bank in the city, which helps the poor serve 365 days. This Roti Bank provides free food in slum areas and hospitals in the city.
