Balajee Sewa Sansthan started the ‘No one sleep hungry’ project after the announcement of the lockdown to provide food support to most vulnerable families in Dehradun and Haridwar districts of Uttarakhand. Under the current circumstances, the lowest strata of the society, comprising of daily wage workers, construction workers, contract laborers, street vendors, Patients suffering from acute health ailments (TB & HIV AIDS) have been the worst hit. These groups have lost the only source of their income and have no means to make ends meet or provide food for their families.

Balajee Sewa Sansthan (BSS) with the permission of District Administration and by adhering to all safety and proper social distancing guidelines has begun its relief service by providing dry ration support to most affected people. Till date, BSS has served and delivered grocery kits to 500 families.

Each meal kit, procured with the funds and costing INR 1400, should last a family of five for 2 week and contains a combination of basic staples and hygiene material such as wheat flour 10 kg, rice 5 kg, two kinds of pulses 2kg, edible oil 2ltr, Salt 1 kg, sugar 1 kg tea 500gm masks, bathing 4soaps, Utensil cleaning soaps, floor disinfectant 1ltr, sanitary pads etc . Approx 24 kg material in each kit. Our teams at Bareilly and Bihar are also distributing masks and soaps to needy people.

The organization is rightly based on humanity. It strongly opposes social inequality of every kind, it is continuously seeking to develop a full force of such people who have got the streak to serve needy and helpless. It welcomes the volunteers who believe in equality and want to contribute to the welfare of community. Joining hands for such cause would eventually turn the society to a paradise to reside in.
