SSwaminarayan Akshardham
Mandir, New Delhi, in association with the Delhi Government
launched 'AAP KI RASOI', a campaign to make Delhi Hunger Free,
on 16 April 2008 at the Nizamuddin Night Shelter.The campaign
was inaugurated by Smt. Sheila Dikshit, Chief Minister of
Delhi.
As there is a big number
of destitute who find it extremely difficult to earn even
one single meal a day, the Government of Delhi has requested
NGOs and corporate houses to provide meals to these people
once a day in the afternoon. Nutritious freshly cooked food
will be served once a day to about 600 needy people, mainly
women and children.
The BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham
Mandir is the first to start the programme in association
with the Delhi Government. The Chief Minister Smt. Sheila
Dikshit personally inspected and distributed lunch to many
people. Dr. Yoganand Shashtri, Minister of Health, Family
Welfare and Social Welfare (Delhi Government) and area Councilor
were also present at the launch.
