ISKCON Food Relief Foundation (IFRF), provides mid day meals to 2.5 lakh children of more than 2,000 government schools in the four districts of Haryana - Gurugram, Palwal, Kurukshetra and Faridabad. The main objective of IFRF is to provide healthy and nutritious food to the children, which helps them in physical and mental development.
On May 11, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Spokesperson (Haryana) Raman Malik visited the Gurugram Kitchen along with his wife, son and daughter. IFRF-Vice Chairman (North India Chapter) Dhananjay Krishna Das, Rahul Saxena (Manager of Gurugram Kitchen) and Ramatma Das (Promotion-Incharge) welcomed and gave them a complete kitchen tour.
On observing the mid-day meals being prepared using the modern techniques, Malik said, "IFRF is doing a great selfless work in the social sector. On one hand, many children don't get enough food and on the other there are children who rely on the mid-day meal provided in school for their physical and mental growth. Lord is pleased with such humane service and I hope IFRF continues to serve him with this beautiful feeling."
He was amazed by seeing 20 thousand Chapatis being made in one hour. On observing the unmatched modern infrastructure of the kitchen, he described ISKCON Food Relief Foundation as the excellent example of the welfare of society.
After the kitchen visit, Malik spent some time among the students of the Government Primary School, Sector 4/7 and distributed mid-day meal to the children with his own hands. He addressed the students in the presence of Principal - Suman Sharma and Chief Principal - Ashok. During his addressal, he encouraged the students to work hard, make progress and aim to achieve high positions in the big companies of Gurugram.
On a departing note, Malik said, "IFRF's work is unique and commendable. Our state government will provide help and support in every way and will try to propose the said mid day meal in other districts as well. Other big companies should also go ahead with the IFRF."
