The Democratic Youth Federation of India’s (DYFI) ‘Hridayapoorvam’ initiative, which serves free meals to patients and bystanders at the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH), Alappuzha, has entered its seventh year.
A public meeting to mark the occasion was inaugurated by DYFI State president V. Vaseef on Saturday. Poet Vayalar Sarathchandra Varma was the chief guest.
The DYFI launched the scheme on June 3, 2017. The organisation has distributed 54.75 lakh food packets in the last six years. Their initial plan was to distribute food to 500 people daily. However, after receiving an overwhelming response to the initiative, the organisation increased the number of food packets.
