5 Indians Who Are Fighting to Give Us Freedom from Hunger

When India gained independence from the British in 1947, it was still reeling from the impact of the 1943 Bengal famine that left 3-4 million people dead. The new leaders of our country were determined to make the fight against hunger a priority. Yet, according to the UN, India is still home to a quarter of the world’s undernourished population today. The struggle against hunger continues. And among those fighting to give us independence from this scourge are these 5 men and women, who we honour this Independence Day.

Hunger in India

194.6 million are undernourished
30.7% of children under 5 are underweight
58% of children stunted by 2 years of age
55th rank in Global Hunger Index 2014
1 in 4 children malnourished

About us

The India Food Banking Network (IFBN) is evolving an ecosystem for food security interventions to support thousands of feeding programmes in India by bringing the government, private sector and NGOs together to fight hunger and malnutrition in India.

Our Vision

IFBN’s vision is to have a hunger and malnutrition free India. We aim to achieve this by establishing a strong and efficient network of FoodBanks throughout the country, so that every district has access to at least one FoodBank by 2020.

Get Involved

IFBN is a multi-stakeholder partnership of global, domestic and local community partners who contribute voluntary to support its humanitarian and development projects. Organizations and individuals are invited to work in collaboration with IFBN to eliminate hunger in India.

Join Hands with Us

Corporations and organizations are joining hands with IFBN and establishing foodbanks under their leadership to eliminate hunger in India.

Thanks to our partners' generous support, we could begin feeding India's hungry and engage our country in the fight to end malnutrition and hunger.

Companies involved in large scale processed food production can support IFBN by giving food which is stocked as unsaleable and can't be pushed into supply chain. This inventory is perfectly good for consumption and has all food quality checks.
