Panchkula, Sep 12, 2026: The Purushottam Das Rungta Charitable Trust organised its 232nd Community Kitchen (Ann Bhandara) in Panchkula's Industrial Area Phase 1, providing freshly prepared meals to needy and underprivileged people.
Speaking on the sidelines of the bhandara, Amitabh Rungta, Founder, Purushottam Das Rungta Charitable Trust and Social Worker, said community kitchens could play an important role in addressing hunger while promoting responsible use of food.
“Food is a basic necessity, and no one should have to go hungry when food is available in society. Regular community kitchens can ensure that wholesome meals reach those who need them while also encouraging people to value food and avoid unnecessary wastage,” Rungta said.
He added that food grains represented the hard work of farmers and the use of valuable resources such as water, land and energy. “We must learn to save food, avoid wastage and share surplus responsibly. Feeding someone in need is not only an act of charity but also a meaningful way of respecting the food we have,” he said.
Rungta said the Trust would continue organising Ann Bhandaras and community kitchens at regular intervals and encouraged individuals and organisations to adopt the principle of “save food, share food and do not waste food” in their daily lives.
