India still faces serious hunger problems, with millions of its citizens, among whom are children, going to bed without food every night. Malnutrition, food insecurity, and poverty not only relate to the quality of life but also restrict economic growth. These issues are necessary to solve for sustainable development and community empowerment. As a not-for-profit, PARD India fights against hunger and makes sure that not a single person goes hungry for the lack of nutritious food.

Understanding Zero Hunger

Zero Hunger is one of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the aim of ending hunger, achieving food security, improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. In India, ending Zero Hunger will require a multi-pronged approach to address food distribution, agricultural productivity, and community awareness.

PARD India is at the forefront of this mission, working tirelessly in bridging the gap between food surplus and food scarcity. With local communities, governments, and organizations, PARD India has been able to implement very impactful interventions that bring hope to vulnerable populations.

Why Hunger Persists in India

India faces several challenges in its fight against hunger:

Economic Inequality: Many regions in this fast-growing economy remain impoverished.

Waste of Food: A considerable amount of food is wasted every year because of inadequate storage and inefficiency in the supply chain.

Imbalanced Distribution: On one side, rural areas are often deprived of food, while on the other side, urban places may face food surpluses.

Lack of Awareness: Low knowledge regarding nutrition and sustainable farming practice added fuel to this fire.

PARD India Role towards Attainment of Zero Hunger

PARD India has devised plans with specific objectives for tackling hunger and malnutrition. Here's what we do:

Food Distribution Drives

PARD India conducts regular food distribution initiatives to feed the nutritionally needy families at the right time. These drives are collaborated with donors, food manufacturers, and local peoples.

Emergency food kits are issued during a natural disaster; so that families in need of support are not deprived of meals.

Community Kitchens

We open community kitchens in disadvantageous regions to distribute free meals to the disadvantageous sections. Such kitchens will function on providing nutrient-rich balanced meals to people.

Food Waste
PARD India works with restaurants, hotels, and food manufacturing companies to channel excess food to disadvantages so that the wastage is stopped considerably.

AWARENESS PROGRAMME

The message of reducing food waste is widely communicated by PARD India by creating an awareness programme among people.

Training and arming farmers with resources and modern techniques to increase productivity and sustainability.

Organic farming practices that yield nutritious crops while preserving the environment.

Nutrition Awareness Programs

Workshop education for the families, particularly mothers, on balanced diets and nutritional practices by children.

Educational materials and publicity campaigns to spread awareness about malnutrition.

Case Studies: Stories of Impact

Empowering Rural Women

PARD India, in a small village in Uttar Pradesh, established a self-help group of women to operate a community kitchen. It not only ensured food security but economically empowered women.

Feeding Schoolchildren

The organization enables midday meals through a partnership with local schools. Children get at least one nutritious meal in a day, and the school attendance and academic performance improve through this initiative.

Disaster Relief

During recent floods in Assam, PARD India distributed over 10,000 food kits to displaced families, providing them with essential nutrition and hope during trying times.
