Hunger is not a natural disaster but man-made one to a large extent. Hence, I feel, it is our duty to make India hunger-free. It was pleasant to know about the implementation of the Mid-Day Meal Programme by The Akshaya Patra Foundation. The modus operandi and functioning of this programme deeply touched my heart as I, at Galway Foundation
