Dry Ration Distribution Program

In rural areas, households headed by senior citizen have poverty ratio of 30.3% and in urban areas, households headed by senior citizen have poverty ratio of 20.0% as per the estimate of Planning Commission. As a developing country, India has very little social security in place for senior citizens. Pension coverage is as low as 11% of the entire workforce. About 65% of the aged in India depend on others for their day-to-day maintenance.Every day, there are millions of elderly people who do not get the meals they need to thrive.

SBMMT aims to help elderly and disabled persons especially who have been emotionally and economically abused. Our team reaches out to the villages and search needy poor old people specially who are staying alone and having no one to take care in the family. We supports poor helpless senior citizens and disabled people by providing a month’s basic dry ration. Our Ration project takes off after a physical verification of the genuineness of the case by a Social Worker. Once a beneficiary if enrolled in the programme, they receive ration month after month, without fail. Our Monthly Ration pack Include 10 kg Mill Flour (Chakki Atta), 2kg Rice, 1kg Salt, 1kg Sugar, 1kg Tur Dal, 500gm Mung Dal, 250gm Turmeric Powder, 100gm Red Chilli Powder, 1L Mustard Oil and 250 gm Packet of Tea Leaves.

We are trying to extend our Ration Distribution Program to every single needy elderly. We wish to help every single poor elderly people to live their life with pride. Every elderly would sleep with full stomach without begging to others. This will help them not only to have nutritional diet to get physically fit but also improve mental health. Decreasing their fear and tears will give positive impact in their remaining life.
