00:00When a mother wakes up in the morning, she is worried about what her child will eat.
00:07Amrita Singh, a woman from Rajdhani, Patna, is worried about what poor children in her area will eat.
00:20She has been feeding poor children for the past 6 years.
00:26The children are given nutritious food.
00:31All the children come here and eat.
00:37The food in the plates of the children is energetic.
00:43Fresh food is served to the children.
00:46Oranges have been given.
00:48Potatoes, spinach, vermicelli and fresh bread.
00:51All the children eat with great enthusiasm.
00:55They are children who do not have proper clothing on their bodies.
01:00But food is provided to them.
01:03We will talk to Amrita.
01:06Amrita, how did you decide to do this work?
01:11According to the Sagar Index, 20 crore people sleep hungry in India.
01:16We thought it would be good if we could do something for them.
01:21Nutrition has always been a problem in our country.
01:25To solve this problem, we started this work.
01:28These are underprivileged children.
01:31These children are well fed.
01:34Everyone knows how their food is.
01:36We decided to provide them with nutritious food.
01:40This is a complete meal.
01:42Carbohydrate, protein, vitamins, minerals.
01:45We provide them with everything.
01:47We try to ensure that no mother's child sleeps hungry.
01:52We organize food for these children.
01:55They come here every day and eat.
01:58We also provide food to the patients and their families.
02:04So that they do not have to sleep hungry because of expensive food.
02:11We provide them with food for the whole day.
02:18We also provide food to the underprivileged students of Patna University.
02:28We believe that food is the most important thing for us.
02:37We want to help as much as we can.
02:41This is a community kitchen.
02:44Did you want to become a doctor?
02:46I wanted to become a doctor, but I could not.
02:49My father was a doctor.
02:52Service is in our blood.
02:54I wanted to do something for the betterment of the society.
02:59I wanted to satisfy myself.
03:01That is where I started.
03:03What is your goal in life?
03:06I want to do something for the society.
03:11I want to do something so that when I die, people remember me for my work.
03:19Whether they remember me by my name or not.
03:23Ms. Pallavi is also a part of this.
03:26Since when has this been going on?
03:29This has been going on since June 3, 2018.
03:33It is good that it is going on continuously.
03:36Sometimes we feel that how will the kitchen go today?
03:41But I don't know what kind of power is there that someone always stands up for the kitchen.
03:47We started this in Prangan, PMCH.
03:51We started this in a blind hostel.
03:55Slowly, we started bringing in small children.
03:58This is God's gift.
04:01And people's co-operation.
04:03Does it ever happen that you don't have money?
04:06Yes.
04:07When I say, people stand up.
04:10People call me and ask me to cook for them.
04:14People co-operate.
04:16If someone wants to celebrate their children's birthday, they co-operate.
04:20If someone has a good omen at home, they co-operate.
04:23If someone has a marriage anniversary, they co-operate.
04:25This has become a platform for people to share and support.
04:34That is why we are able to run such a big community kitchen.
04:37How many people have you fed in the last year?
04:41I would say that we have fed innumerable people.
04:45One year is a countable figure.
04:48In six years, I would say that we have fed innumerable people.
04:52This initiative is moving forward.
04:56Amrita and Pallavi are providing nutritious food to children.
05:04They want no child to sleep hungry.
05:07I am Ranjeet from ETV Bharat, Patna.
