Bengaluru-based NGO Rise Againt Hunger India (RAHI) on Friday said it will provide 1.5 million meals more in the next 6-8 weeks to vulnerable groups who would still need support despite staggered lifting of lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far during the lockdown period, RAHI has supplied over 1 million meals \u2014 both cooked meal and dry supplies \u2014 to migrant labour, daily wage labour, construction workers, contract labour, street vendors and rickshaw pullers, it said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTill date we have supplied over 1 million meals to these people who have been hit the hardest due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continuing with our efforts and aim to reach more people across more cities pan India,\u201d RAHI Executive Director Dola Mohapatra said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to RAHI, the economic revival will take time despite the staggered lifting of the lockdown across some parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this time, the major challenge would be workforce stabilization and livelihood regeneration. There would still be a sizable chunk of these vulnerable groups, who will need extended support, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKeeping this in mind, RAHI plans to continue its efforts with a target of providing to 1.5 million additional meals to these vulnerable groups over the next 6-8 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
