27 million meals donated by Vikas Khanna this year
While India has been witnessing challenging times in the wake of Coronavirus, Vikas Khanna has been at the forefront of giving back to society donating a whopping 27 million meals in the country. The Amritsar-born chef rolled out an initiative named ‘Feed India Movement’ organizing food distributions giving away meals to orphanages, AIDS patients, old-age homes, migrant workers and to those in need of food across the nation.
“As we were planning the opening of Ellora by Vikas Khanna, I was simultaneously coordinating the Feed India initiative, whereby we organised a supplier network of food and rations and delivered more than 25 million meals to Indian families in need. I was feeling deeply enveloped in the power of food and nourishment on a new level and wanted this emotion to permeate Ellora. I’m truly feeling blessed for both the creations.”
