                World Food Movement Successfully Launches

                                           ‘No One Hungry’ Initiative

               A Special event organized by the non-profit and Consulate General of India, New York.

            OUR BUREAU
            New York, NY

                  he Consulate General of  In-
                  dia in New York and World
            TFood Movement jointly orga-
            nized ‘No One Hungry’, an event to
            strengthen global food and nutrition
            security in the United States of Amer-
            ica.
                The event was themed around
            the idea that food is not only nour-
            ishment for the body and mind but
            an absolute fundamental right. Food
            is more than just about survival; it is
            also about education, health, and op-
            portunity. Every meal served is an in-
            vestment in the future of students and
            the nation, as they are the flagbearers
            of tomorrow. Investing in food and
            nutrition security is one of the most
            effective entry points for human de-
            velopment, which opens up opportu-
            nities for their aspirations. This forum
            resolved that by igniting the collec-
            tive spirit of compassion and service,
            along with human-centric technology
            and progress, we can ensure that no
            one goes hungry.
                World Food Movement (WFM)
            is a non-profit established in 2025 to
            alleviate hunger among students and
            communities in the country. Since
            then, the organization has been serv-
            ing fresh, nutritious meals to com-
