A small change can lead to significant impacts! 

While growing up, every kid learns about the significance of securing 3 basic human needs - Food, cloth, and shelter. While the importance of all three is at par, food, somehow, becomes the top priority. It is because, without food, there is no survival. Well, have you ever felt stomach acids building up and giving rise to that burning sensation? It sure feels uncomfortable! Now imagine the condition of all those underprivileged and needy people who cannot afford a single meal for the day and goes to sleep on an empty stomach. Hunger is a widespread evil that persists in the nooks and corners of the crooked alleys of the world. 

Apni Roti, an initiative by Shivohum Balaji Seva Trust, is a Non-Governmental Organization that works to eliminate hunger by feeding underprivileged people with fresh and nutritious meals. At a time when hunger is plaguing the undernourished, Apni Roti is working relentlessly every day to provide as many as 3 meals to the homeless, needy, and underprivileged through their food vending machines. This non-profit initiative ensures that every stomach is well-fed with nutritious food to save them from the perils of hunger. Apni Roti's team work by identifying  

areas with immediate needs, deploying vehicles to the said area, spreading awareness about free meals, and supplying healthy chapatis with a dollop of a pickle.  

When Vikash Agarwal, a philanthropist and humanitarian, conceived the idea of serving meals on wheels, it was a complicated feat. However, thanks to his firm determination and the support of his team, he was able to shape his objectives into reality. His dream of equipping a vehicle with a unique contraption that produces more than 2000 rotis in an hour finally came true in 2019. Since then, every single day, Apni Roti's food van has contributed to the happiness of those in need. Utilizing FSSAI-approved ingredients for the preparation of meals, Apni Roti guarantees a well-balanced and nutritious meal to promote growth in children and a sound mind in adults.  

Happy are those faces that are not food and nutrition insecure. One of the motivations behind Apni Roti is the satisfaction that arises from watching faces grin from ear to ear. The idea of serving happiness on wheels was devised to ensure that food-deficient people in the remotest part of the map receive meals. Till now, Apni Roti has distributed piping chapatis to more than 5 lakh people. Renowned for its meal campaigns in Kolkata, West Bengal, the humanitarian entity has also distributed free meals on the streets of Bihar and Jharkhand.  

Mr. Agarwal believes that hunger is too massive to be handled individually. However, small contributions from multiple people can lead to a substantial impact. We, as a community, hold the power to bring about a change in the present scenario and contribute our part to improving the quality of people's lives. A combined effort from every member of society and setting up small but significant attainable goals can help the world get rid of chronic hunger. Apni Roti has committed to responding to the emergencies of the food-deprived and battling against malnutrition.
