How It All Started?
ISKCON's large-scale food distribution program officially began in 1974. The inspiration for the program came from ISKCON's founder, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. In 1974, while in Mayapur, West Bengal, he was deeply saddened to see a group of village children fighting with street dogs over scraps of food. He immediately instructed his disciples:
"No one within ten miles of a temple should go hungry… I want you to immediately begin serving food."
Approximately 32.1 out of every
100 children in India are underweight.
