'One day while I was going to my shop in Sadar Bazar in Gurgaon, I noticed a few kids, who were also ragpickers, picking up thrown away and spoiled fruits from the garbage, cleaning it up and eating the same to satisfy their hunger. After seeing that something inside pinched me so hard that for the next few days I was mentally disturbed and was in deep thoughts as to what I can do in my capacity to help these children and many others in similar situations.'  

This is the story of Mr. Pankaj Gupta, from Gurgaon, Haryana who after witnessing such a bad state of affairs for a basic necessity like food, decided to do something about it, to the best of his capacity.  

This gave birth to Devdoot Food Bank, a community kitchen, which today provides healthy and nutritious food to the needy people in and around them. Today, Devdoot is serving food to more than 1000 people on daily basis through multiple means and mediums. Not just that, during the lockdown they adopted 700 labor families (2800 people) and took care of all of their needs including three meals daily.  

Let's hear more about Devdoot Food Bank, the idea, operations, the COVID chapter, and much more directly from Mr. Pankaj Gupta, Founder of this NGO.
