The Cyberabad Commissioner of Police V.C. Sajjanar recently launched the ‘Don’t waste food foundation’ initiative for helping poor. The website launched on the 3rd of May, encourages citizens not to waste food and allow them to give those food to the needy in Hyderabad, Telangana.
V.C. Sajjanar along with the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) of Traffic Vijay Kumar flagged off the pick up van of the organisation. The website named ‘dontwastefoodfoundation.org’ was part of the initiative started by philanthropist Chakradhar Goud and social worker Malleshwar Rao in 2011 for feeding thousands of hungry people for free. Continuing the same, the Cyberabad Police said, “Humanity exists. ‘Don’t Waste Food’ distributes leftover food among the poor and the food is also distributed among the kith and kin of patients who wait outside government hospitals in the city.”
V.C. Sajjanar said, “It is a great gesture that Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his flagship programme ‘Mann ki Baat’ appreciated social worker Malleshwar Rao for his services.” The officer said, “If we can utilise the food being wasted in hotels of Hyderabad every day, no one will sleep hungry in the City.”
Presently, the organisation distributes food to around 2,000 people each day. The initiative at the times of the Novel Coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic would be a great help for the people who could not afford food and sleep with starvation.
To donate food log on to: https://dontwastefoodfoundation.org/ or call Malleshwar Rao on cell phone: 7207103539.
