New Delhi: Wishes & Blessings, a Delhi-based non-governmental organisation committed to inclusive social development, has reached a remarkable milestone by distributing over one crore meals under its ‘Daily Meal Programme’ to underprivileged communities across India. To commemorate this achievement, the organisation successfully conducted a nationwide series of meal distribution drives.
The drive began on May 22 at the Botanical Bus Stand in Noida, and continued through Munirka in Delhi and Sector 89, Hayatpur in Gurgaon. Parallel efforts were carried out in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) and Burdwan (West Bengal), uniting beneficiaries, volunteers, and supporters in a collective act of solidarity and gratitude.
On May 23, the mission expanded further, with coordinated drives taking place in Jamshedpur (Jharkhand) and Guwahati (Assam). Through these back-to-back initiatives, approximately 4,000 individuals received wholesome, nutritious meals, amplifying the impact of Wishes & Blessings’ national hunger alleviation efforts.
In a powerful step forward, the organisation has also launched a new initiative titled “Each One Feed One for Life”, encouraging individuals to take up the lifelong responsibility of supporting the nourishment of at least one underprivileged person. This initiative reinforces the NGO’s vision of building a sustainable, community-driven hunger relief network across the country.
Dr. Geetanjali Chopra, Founder and President of Wishes & Blessings, shared:
“Distributing one crore meals over nine and a half years is a testament to our unwavering belief that every individual deserves dignity, nourishment, and compassionate care. Food is a basic human right, yet not everyone has access to it. At Wishes & Blessings, we are deeply committed to ensuring no one goes to bed hungry. Our commitment remains resolute until the eradication of hunger becomes a reality.”
This milestone comes just ahead of World Hunger Day on May 29, a day that brings global focus to food insecurity and the urgent need for sustainable hunger solutions, particularly in countries like India.
