‘Feed the needy’, a unique biryani challenge, is on the cards, with a mission to feed thousands of rough sleepers in Kerala and selected metro cities in the country.
Thanal, a Vadakara-based non-governmental organisation, is behind the mission, through which they plan to cook and sell about four lakh biryani packets. The plan is to sell a packet of biryani at ₹100. The 11-day challenge will formally begin in the State and selected metro cities on March 20 with a target to mobilise a total fund of ₹4 crore. People’s representatives from various districts will also lend a hand to promote the drive.
The organisers said they had been supplying free meals to about 4,000 destitute persons in various parts of the country for years. Thanal makes use of its own kitchens in cities such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and New Delhi to cook the food at affordable rates and coordinate the free distribution. Many sponsors are also part of the drive.
