Michelin-star Vikas Khanna turned his focus to India’s hungry, by starting a Mission ‘Feed India’ to provide millions of meals to poor Indians who suffered under the corona virus lockdown.
This Initiative which the New York based Indian American Vikas started with a single tweet on April 1 became a movement within a very short span of time. On Sep 1, his ‘Feed India’ Drive completed 5 months of its persistent journey and fed millions in more than 135 cities across India during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“What started with a simple vision to Feed India has now become a movement. From old age homes to orphanages to leprosy centers to highways to trains to buses to fuel stations to quarantine centers to abandoned elders shelters… On Sept 1st, we completed 5 months of ‘Feed India’,” said Vikas Khanna. Khanna’s ‘Feed India’ is one of the World’s largest food drives of this era.
The campaign crossed the 30 million-meal (cooked and dry ration) mark. Besides food, Vikas and his team of volunteers are providing 30 Million Meals 400,000 Slippers 3 Million Sanitary Pads 2 Million Masks.
