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

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-
munity college students and food-in-
