Eradicating Hunger
Food Distribution Program
Many individuals, despite working hard to meet their daily expenses, cannot even afford a basic meal and are severely malnourished.
Shree Raj Roti Centre was initiated with the objective of helping the ‘underprivileged working-class’ individuals by serving them a full meal, once a day. We believe that we can help by taking care of an individual’s basic requirement of life – ‘Food’.
Shree Raj Roti Centre is a food distribution program that serves healthy and nutritious food at a highly subsidized rate (token amount) of ₹10/- per meal.
Salient Features:
As on March 2022, we are operational at Mumbai in the following centres
Nutritious and sattvic food is served on a daily basis to the genuinely needy beneficiaries, irrespective of caste, creed and religion.
Beneficiaries are identified/referred by various well-wishers residing around the distribution centres. To verify the genuineness of the registered beneficiaries, our Raj Sevaks in the verification team personally visit the residence of each beneficiary.
Each meal is a nutritious platter of healthy staples like rice, daal, pulses/vegetables and chapatis. Additionally, a fruit (banana) is distributed daily in all the Mumbai centres.
In addition to a regular meal, occasionally sweets and/or snacks are served as per the wish of donors (on their birthday, anniversary, or any other special day). As per the feasibility, we also celebrate festive days, spiritually auspicious days, organize a visit to the Research Centre, tour various places in Mumbai followed by a special lunch and provide medical treatment to beneficiaries.
Meals are served in steel tiffins or takeaway parcels.
Adequate hygiene standards are maintained during handling and distribution of food.
More than 5,55,000 meals distributed in last 5 years.
Every day, over 525 beneficiaries are served nutritious and sattvic meals.
We are looking forward to setup similar centres in various other cities.
During the most critical time of COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to serving food parcels to our regular beneficiaries, we also distributed grocery kits and medical kits to the genuinely needy.
