Campaign Story

🍛 Bhojan Seva – Nourishing Lives with Dignity

“Hunger doesn’t ask questions — it just waits. Let’s not keep anyone waiting.”

In the slums, rural pockets, and urban outskirts of Southern Rajasthan, thousands of families sleep hungry each night. Children go to school on empty stomachs, elderly people survive on one sparse meal a day, and women often sacrifice their share for their children.

At Kotik Foundation, we believe that food is not a privilege — it’s a basic human right. Through our heartfelt initiative Bhojan Seva, we provide nutritious food packets to underprivileged individuals and families living in urban slums and rural villages of Udaipur and surrounding districts, ensuring no one is left behind in the fight against hunger.

🎯 What is Bhojan Seva?

Bhojan Seva is a hunger-relief and food distribution campaign run by Kotik Foundation, with the goal of offering regular, wholesome meals and dry ration kits to those in need — especially:

• Daily wage laborers

• Orphans and children in slum areas

• Abandoned elderly and disabled individuals

• Women-led households with little or no income

• Tribal families in remote areas

We carry out year-round distributions, ensuring that food reaches the most vulnerable during crisis, festivals, harsh seasons, and school sessions.

🧺 What We Provide

• 🍚 Cooked meals (Dal, Rice, Vegetables, Roti) — fresh, clean, and nutritious

• 🥖 Dry ration kits with rice, flour, pulses, oil, salt, and basic spices

• 🍪 Nutrition packs for children including milk powder, biscuits, and fruits

• 💧 Bottled water or safe drinking options during peak summers

Each packet is served with dignity, care, and respect, not as charity, but as solidarity.

📍 Where We Serve

• Slum areas in Udaipur city, including Savina, Pratapnagar, Bhuwana

• Rural villages in Dungarpur, Banswara, Salumber, Gogunda, Rajsamand

• Relief camps during natural disasters or emergencies

• Streets, railway stations, bus stands, construction sites

• Orphanages, elderly care shelters, and migrant colonies

📅 When We Serve

Bhojan Seva is not seasonal — it’s continuous.
We distribute food:

• ✅ Weekly and monthly drives in slum communities

• ✅ Daily meals in extreme winters and summers

• ✅ Festival specials (Diwali, Eid, Holi, Makar Sankranti)

• ✅ Emergency response (COVID-19, natural calamities)

• ✅ On birthdays, anniversaries, and memorials sponsored by donors

❤️ Why Bhojan Seva Matters

• 🍽️ 1 in 3 children in rural Rajasthan is malnourished

• 🌾 Many families earn just ₹100-₹150 a day — barely enough for one meal

• 👶 Women and girls often skip meals due to limited household food

• 👴 The elderly, disabled, and homeless face constant hunger and neglect

“The food I got today means I won’t have to beg for dinner. Thank you.” – Ramlal ji, Udaipur slum
