Food Distribution
At Gram Bartori Vikas Shikshan Samiti, we believe that access to food is a fundamental right, and no one should go hungry. We are committed to addressing the issue of food insecurity by providing food distribution services to those in need. Our organization partners with local communities and organizations to identify individuals and families who require assistance with their basic needs. We then distribute food packages that include essential food items, such as rice, pulses, oil, and other locally available items. We also ensure that the food we distribute is nutritious and meets the basic dietary requirements of the recipients.
We have been able to provide food support to many vulnerable households, including widows, the elderly, and those living with disabilities. Our food distribution efforts are ongoing, and we continuously strive to reach more individuals and families who require our support.
