The depredations of the virus have led to the loss of millions of jobs and unleashed a humanitarian crisis that is exacerbated by hunger and starvation. To mitigate the crisis, Manas Gupta, a 12th Grade student has been running a free kitchen, HARIOM SEVA, for quite some time and providing free food to all of them who are not able to arrange one full meal for them.
Manas questions the fact that why there should be hunger and deprivation in any land, in any city or at any table when a man is capable to attain all resources around him and give them back in a fruitful manner that can complete all the basic necessities of life. The world around and stigma of poverty that lurks in the society proves the fact that it is not the deficit in Human Resources but deficit in human will.
Poverty is a very complicated and broad issue to solve but by beginning at a smaller level by making a strong determination to make the mantra of feeding children, the issue can be narrowed down. Feeding a child is not difficult and this carrying the belief in himself, Manas aims to do the same around his area by proving free food on important occasions and days to make the world a happy place to live in.
