Apni Roti, an initiative led by the Shivohum Balaji Seva Trust, functions as a Non-Governmental Organisation committed to closing the gap between the Read moreunderprivileged and their essential human right - food access.

Programs

  • Baidyanath Dham Campaign

    Launched in collaboration with Shivohum Balaji Seva Trust, the Baidyanath Dham campaign by Apni Roti annually assists numerous devotees with complimentary fresh meals, accommodation, and health checkups. This initiative, dedicated to providing basic amenities to devotees visiting the holy place, aims to enhance community resilience by ensuring a positive experience for every devotee. Apni Roti, having served over 25,000 people in the camp, recognizes the essential need for clean water and hygienic food at pilgrimage sites, acknowledging the sacrifice and devotion of those leaving their homes for spiritual immersion. The commitment to contributing and delivering exceptional services continues each year at the sacred Baidyanath Dham.

  • Gangasagar Mela Pariseva

    Annually, thousands of pilgrims flock to Gangasagar, a revered pilgrimage site in West Bengal. Since 2019, Apni Roti has been providing complimentary meals and essential support to these devotees. In January 2022, a 5-day camp was organised, offering fresh and nutritious meals, along with clean water, to pilgrims and elders. Recognizing the physical exertion after taking a holy dip and navigating crowded areas, Apni Roti aimed to keep devotees hydrated and well-fed. Using ingredients from FSSAI-approved brands, the organisation, driven by the spirit of communal amity, successfully served every devotee with the help of dedicated volunteers, nurturing people and fostering resilience in communities.
