The nation came to a standstill when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a complete lockdown of India on March 25, 2020, to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the lockdown was unavoidable in order to flatten the rising curve of COVID-19, it also unlocked angst and hopelessness in many ways. Thousands of people lost access to income, resources and daily meals. On the other hand, many quarantined people, patients and medical staff found their mobility to be restricted and as a result they were unable to avail necessary essential requirements. While the government continued to uplift the morale of the country, several leading food NGOs in India like Annamrita Foundation came upfront to relieve this sheer sense of helplessness and distress.

As a leading food NGO in India that serves mid-day meals to municipal schools, Annamrita Foundation decided to leverage its kitchens across the nation to deliver warm and hygienic meals to those suffering in the lockdown.
