RATION DISTRIBUTION

Millions of people in India have had their lives ruined as a result of the COVID outbreak. Many individuals have lost their jobs, and the locks on the gates of schools and universities have had an impact on the entire country's education system. Among all of this, the most serious fear is that if migrant workers, laborer, street vendors, hawkers, and other small-scale employees lose their employment, how will they feed their families? Why is it critical to supply dry ration packages in this situation? Thousands of daily wages laborers and migrant workers suffered greatly as a result of the second wave of the COVID-19 epidemic. migrant laborers were forced to return to their villages and homes in the previous year. Despite the considerable hurdles posed by the COVID-19 second wave in 2021, the majority of them chose to stay and continue working. Raah-e-Najaat Foundation has taken the admirable step of donating dry ration packs to thousands of impoverished households.

Raah-e-Najaat Foundation has launched the Free of Cost Meal Program to alleviate the suffering of underfed and underprivileged people due to hunger. Hunger has become a core source of hardship in the lives of economically disadvantaged individuals and families since the lockdown. People are unable to make rationing arrangements, leaving their families in a precarious situation. At the Raah-e-Najaat Foundation, we are inviting the fortunate to give dry ration packs through the Raah-e-Najaat gateway and help us achieve our goal of zero hunger.

Raah-e-Najaat Foundation has given wings to the largest meal programme in Hyderabad, Telangana, and other rural places, with the goal of eradicating hunger and feeding the least fortunate from disadvantaged populations. As the second wave of the COVID-19 epidemic wreaks devastation across India, children from the poorest neighborhoods and environments are struggling to survive. Most daily wage earners, including hawkers, vegetable vendors, and labourers, have failed to serve their family members because they have become unemployed and do not have enough money to provide a daily meal. Thus, as Raah-e-Najaat, we believed it was our mission to provide free Ration Kits to these underprivileged individuals from various sectors, and thus the Free of Cost Meal Program was developed.

Food Management and Wastage Control System

Living conditions that exceed the bare minimum are only sustainable if consumption norms everywhere consider long-term sustainability. Nonetheless, many of us live above the world's ecological limits, as seen by our energy use habits. Perceived requirements are determined by social and cultural factors, and sustainable development necessitates the promotion of values that support consumption levels that are within the confines of the ecologically feasible and to which everybody may fairly strive.

Meeting basic requirements is contingent on reaching maximum growth potential, and sustainable development certainly necessitates economic growth in areas where such demands are unmet. It can be consistent with economic expansion elsewhere, as long as the substance of growth follows broad ideals of sustainability and non-exploitation of others. However, growth on its own is insufficient. High levels of economic activity and widespread poverty can coexist, putting the ecosystem at risk. As a result, societies must address human needs by boosting productive capacity while also providing equal opportunities for all.

Providing marginalised women with secure and sustainable livelihoods. Raah-e-Najaat's Livelihood mission assists women who work in smallholder agriculture, small enterprises, or as farm or non-farm labour. We assist women develop secure and resilient livelihoods and climb out of poverty permanently by implementing a variety of creative projects. Capability enhancement, asset creation, collectivization, inclusive value chain development, and participation of males and other prominent players are some of the primary tactics used in livelihood sector efforts.
