New Delhi, 23rd May 2025: Wishes & Blessings, a Delhi-based non-governmental organization committed to inclusive social development, has reached a remarkable milestone by distributing over one crore meals under its ‘Daily Meal Programme’ to underprivileged communities across India. To commemorate this achievement, the organization successfully conducted a nationwide series of meal distribution drives on 22nd and 23rd May 2025.
The drive began on 22nd May at the Botanical Bus Stand in Noida, and continued through Munirka in Delhi and Sector 89, Hayatpur in Gurgaon. Parallel efforts were carried out in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) and Burdwan (West Bengal), uniting beneficiaries, volunteers, and ers in a collective act of solidarity and gratitude.
On 23rd May, the mission expanded further, with coordinated drives taking place in Jamshedpur (Jharkhand) and Guwahati (Assam). Through these back-to-back initiatives, approximately 4,000 individuals received wholesome, nutritious meals—amplifying the impact of Wishes & Blessings’ national hunger alleviation efforts.
In a powerful step forward, the organization has also launched a new initiative titled “Each One Feed One for Life”, encouraging individuals to take up the lifelong responsibility of ing the nourishment of at least one underprivileged person. This initiative reinforces the NGO’s vision of building a sustainable, community-driven hunger relief network across the country.
Dr. Geetanjali Chopra, Founder and President of Wishes & Blessings, shared:
“Distributing one crore meals over 9 and a half years is a testament to our unwavering belief that every individual deserves dignity, nourishment, and comionate care. Food is a basic human right — yet not everyone has access to it. At Wishes & Blessings, we are deeply committed to ensuring no one goes to bed hungry. Our commitment remains resolute until the eradication of hunger becomes a reality.”
This milestone comes just ahead of World Hunger Day on 29th May, a day that brings global focus to food insecurity and the urgent need for sustainable hunger solutions particularly in countries like India.
Founded in 2014, Wishes & Blessings has built a robust hunger relief framework including daily meal distributions, ration kit programs, emergency food assistance, and special feeding initiatives during festivals and national crises. The organization’s swift and impactful response during the COVID-19 pandemic-providing hot meals and dry rations to thousands of displaced and unemployed individuals was widely recognized as one of the most effective community-driven interventions in the region.
