About Us

Where it all began

Who We Are?

Headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, Apni Roti is a Non-Governmental Organization. It is an initiative by Shivohum Balaji Seva Trust that aims to bridge the gap between the underprivileged and their basic human right, which is food. Believing in the upliftment of society, instead of distributing leftover food, Apni Roti prepares fresh meals to ensure every stomach is well-fed with nutritious food. Headed by Ms. Krishna Devi Agarwal and her son Vikash Agarwal, a social entrepreneur, this humble endeavor aims to bring change in the lives of the needy and deprived to empower them and trigger their development.

With quality meals and balanced nutrients, Apni Roti ensures that people from all walks of life do not suffer from the physical, mental, and emotional impacts of hunger oppression. A moral imperative, sharing food with the needy to improve their future, is Apni Roti's supreme aim.

To create an inclusive community where everyone can access good quality and nutritious food regardless of their socio-economic background in order to build a strong and healthier India. Since food is a basic human right, we are committed to creating a healthier future without any instances of food insecurity. In persistent pursuit of our vision, we will continue to collaborate with volunteers, organizations, and the government to create solutions that eradicate hunger and malnutrition and empower the homeless and underprivileged to grow, access, and consume healthy food.

  • To provide wholesome & nutritional food to underprivileged and homeless individuals.
  • To address the needs of those struggling with food insecurity by distributing fresh and healthy meals through our food van.
  • To raise awareness about the issue of hunger & advocate for systemic change to create an equitable society to promote dignity and respect for all.
  • To build a relationship with those we serve & foster a community that promotes social connection & belonging.

  • To provide sustainable solutions for addressing the immediate needs of the homeless & underprivileged by providing timely food assistance.

Where it all began

Meet the founder!

A dynamic visionary and business entrepreneur, Vikash Agarwal initiated Apni Roti in 2019. He is a humanitarian who believes that Roti is a commodity everyone enjoys and unites people from different castes, religions, and other divisions. A firm devotee to the cause of giving back to society, he shaped his objectives into reality by starting with a food-delivering van in the streets and slums of Kolkata.

He acknowledges that by combining technology with community service, great deeds can be done for the needy strata of society. He aims to feed every hungry stomach before they hit the bed. He believes that every person is capable of making a difference in this world, and by providing nutritious and well-balanced meals, he wants to ensure that no potential goes to waste. A social changemaker, Vikash aims to remove hunger from its root to help underprivileged members live a comfortable and convenient life.
