Gangasagar Mela Pariseva

Every year, thousands of devotees visit Gangasagar, a pilgrimage site in the Indian state of West Bengal. Since its inception in 2019, Apni Roti has been serving pilgrims free meals and other necessities. In January 2022, the non-governmental organization organized a 5-day camp to support pilgrims and elders who visit the holy place to manifest their faiths. Devotees feel hungry after taking a dip in the mighty river and tired after winging through heavy crowds. Thus, for 5 continuous days, Apni Roti provided fresh and nutritious meals and clean water to devotees to keep them hydrated and their stomachs well-fed. The ingredients of the meal were sourced from fssai- approved brands and the meals were prepared freshly daily. Mr. Vikash Agarwal, the founder of Apni Roti, believes that sharing food is an incredible example of communal amity. With the help of volunteers who wished to contribute to this noble cause, Apni Roti successfully reached out to every devotee that required their services. Abiding by the motivation of nurturing people and building resilience in communities, Apni Roti dives into the waves of faith by making devotees' and pilgrims' journeys comfortable.
