Melghat "Project Rise" Food Distribution Event Organized By Dana Committee Nagpur on World Food Day

Under the guidance of His Holiness Dr. Syedna Aali Qadar Mufadal Saifuddin (T.U.S) Dawoodi Bohra community worldwide initiated “Project Rise” to support United Nation in its drive to stop death due to hunger. As evident from the slogan “Our actions are our Future” The project aims to create awareness and sensitise people about the problem and ask them to contribute for the cause. The project is being executed in 12 countries with the voluntary efforts of “DANA Committee”. This year the member of Dawoodi Bohra community Nagpur contributed a whooping 20 tons of food supplies which included 5 ton rice, 5 ton flour, 1400 litre edible oil, 2 ton pulses, 5 ton pooha and 2 ton Jaggery in a door to door drive conducted by Dana committee. These products were distributed among the needy on 16th of October World Food Day in massive food distribution drive. A food truck containing 10 ton of food supplies was sent to Melghat where recently there has been deaths of 72 children due to malnourishment and lack of resources. The truck was flagged off on its mission by Dr. Milind Mane, MLA Nagpur North and Abha Tai Pande, Corporator in a function on 15th of October held at mangalwari. The drive has helped over 4000 people or 1000 families by providing them with 1 month of food supplies i.e. 5 kg rice, 5 kg flour, 3 kg poha, 3 lit oil, 3 kg pulses and 5 kg Jaggery. The drive aims to cover over 10 locations which include slums, villages and tribal areas in and around Nagpur district. The project has created a bench mark for similar drives in its first year but the people involved do realise and voice their concerns that the problem is much bigger and in many ways difficult to comprehend but if we all unite in this mission lot more can be achieved. The Project was organized in association with local NGOs, Mahan Trust, Sewa Kitchen, Local leaders and Nagar sewaks Narration by Aamir bhai Wardhawala Video edited by Team Zoher Ali Photography
