New Delhi (India), July 1: Annamrita Foundation took inspiration from a directive given by Srila Prabhupada, founder of ISKCON in 1974, after he witnessed village children fighting over food scraps. Prabhupada decreed that no one within a ten-mile radius of ISKCON temples should go hungry. Inspired by this vision, the Annamrita Foundation was formed and had been committed to serving food with the same love and devotion that a mother provides to a child.
Established in 2004 as an NGO serving Mid-Day meals to school children, Annamrita has expanded its mission to support the needy across India. The foundation’s state-of-the-art kitchens in 8 states and 19 cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Nagpur and other places, provide nutritious meals, tackling malnutrition and poverty.
The foundation faces competition from other NGOs for donors and volunteers, stringent government regulations affecting charitable giving, and managing donor expectations regarding the costs of running a nonprofit. Annamrita addresses these by maintaining transparency and complying with all legal requirements.
