Bhubaneswar: Inspired by the Hunger-Free India vision of Jindal Steel & Power (JSP) Chairman Naveen Jindal, who had introduced a private bill in Lok Sabha to end hunger in the country, the JSP Foundation is set to expand its Mission Zero Hunger programme.
JSP Foundation, the social arm of JSP, distributes over 50 lakh meals every year across India with a target of reaching 1 crore meals.
Shallu Jindal, Chairperson of JSP Foundation which is the social arm of JSP, is keen to implement Mission Zero Hunger to end hunger and malnutrition in Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand in the first phase and gradually in the nooks and corners of India.
In the first phase of its expansion plan, JSP Foundation is targeting all districts in Odisha, with extra focus in Angul, Keonjhar, Sundargarh, Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Ganjam, Khurda, Kendrapara, Cuttack and Dhenkanal and select districts in Chhattisgarh — Raipur, Rajnandgaon and Durg — and Jharkhand (Ramgarh and Ranchi).
JSP Foundation believes collective action and collaboration are required to achieve the ambitious target of Mission Zero Hunger.
Hence, JSP Foundation has sought support in the form of collaboration with like-minded NGOs, professional agencies, civic societies who share the vision of eradicating hunger from the grassroots and have eligibility to partner under CSR programme as per guidelines of Union Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
JSP Foundation is emphasising on the need for partners to possess the capacity, trained manpower, and a compassionate spirit to serve the needy and destitute
