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
