What we do
Each programme links a documented need to a practical response and to indicators we report against.
From the field
On 11 February 2024, SEVA volunteers ran a day-long cooked-meal service on Nimtala Ghat Cross Road, Kolkata. It became the template for our food programme: a planned menu, hygienic service, a clear budget and a team of Sevadars who show up.
Anna Daan Seva continues in slums and orphanages around the city, with raw and cooked food distributed against published selection criteria.
