About This Pillar

Growing the Movement is about building a powerful coalition of individuals, organizations, and institutions united against hunger. We believe that ending hunger requires more than direct programs — it requires a movement that engages society at every level.

Regardless of your location, age, schedule, or resources, you can take action. Through meal packaging events, corporate partnerships, youth programs, and social advocacy, we turn passive awareness into active participation — making everyone part of the solution.

Climate issues, conflict, and the COVID pandemic have left millions without stable access to food. The UN FAO reports that more than 3 billion people — nearly 40% of the world's population — cannot afford a healthy diet. Building a movement of inspirational leaders, ambassadors, and champions is how we change that.

Key Initiatives

Hands-on Volunteering for Meal Packaging

Over 40 million nutritious meals packaged — thanks to thousands of volunteers from all walks of life. Our signature meal packaging events bring together groups of 40-50 people who package more than 10,000 meals in just two hours. Fun, energetic, and inclusive (ages 6 to 90), these events are held at corporate offices, schools, civic associations, clubs, and community venues.

Corporate CSR & Employee Engagement

Nearly 100 companies partner with us annually for customized meal packaging events, employee engagement programs, and CSR initiatives aligned with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) — with detailed impact reporting and visibility for partner brands.

Nutrition Education Program

Partnering with over 200 schools to deliver structured modules that help students understand food, nutrition, and food systems — empowering them to make informed dietary choices and become advocates for healthy eating in their families and communities.

Hunger Action Movement by Youth

Active engagement by youth and community groups in spreading the message of hunger awareness, being nutritionally self-aware, and helping others within their surroundings — turning young people into catalysts for change in their neighborhoods and institutions.

Academic Partnerships & Internships

Every year, over 100 students from colleges across India join us as interns in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Bhubaneswar — conducting field work, visiting NGO partners, and gaining firsthand understanding of the realities of food insecurity in rural and urban communities.

Virtual Volunteering

Thousands of volunteers from across the country who want to join the movement but cannot physically participate in on-site activities contribute remotely — creating social media content, preparing creative messages, writing blogs, and submitting their work to amplify our reach.

Campaigns, Special Days & Honoring Food Champions

Partners, volunteers, and students join together to observe Nutrition Week, World Food Day, and Hunger Action Months through rallies, walkathons, exhibitions, and food demonstrations. We also celebrate and honor farmers, food providers, food producers, and volunteers who champion the fight against hunger.

Nutrition Podcasts, Seminars & Events

Our podcast Everyday Nutrition has become one of the most popular nonprofit podcasts with over 20 episodes covering food, nutrition, health, and agriculture. We also host Push for Poshan — a national event with packed audiences disseminating information on dietary diversity, nutritional challenges, and food choices — now an annual feature.
