Indian Roti Bank

Our Association

"There are people in the world so hungry that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread."

- Mahatma Gandhi

For many people who are left with as much as a morsel to survive on, the one who feeds them is equivalent to God.

One such organisation in the country that has been ensuring that nobody goes empty stomach is the "Indian Roti Bank".

Started by Vikram Pandey about seven years ago, the movement, which started with an encounter in Lucknow, has now grown to provide food to the hungry in countries like Nepal and Nigeria as well.

Hardoi To Nepal Vikram Pandey, a 38-year-old Lucknow University graduate, had started the Indian Roti Bank about seven years ago.

Our Organization Mission

The mission of the Indian Roti Bank is to ensure that nobody goes empty stomach. Inspired by the words of Mahatma Gandhi, who said, "There are people in the world so hungry that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread," our organization is dedicated to providing food to the hungry and needy. We strive to make a positive impact on society by collecting rotis and other food items from the public, preparing nutritious meals, and distributing them to beggars, the destitute, and the hungry across various locations, including railway stations, bus stations, and public places. We are committed to addressing the pressing issue of hunger and food insecurity, aiming to alleviate suffering and bring hope to those in need.

Our Organization Vision

Our vision is to create a society where every individual has access to basic sustenance and no one sleeps empty stomach. We aspire to build a network of Roti Banks in every district of India, serving as a reliable source of food for those who are deprived of it. We envision a compassionate community where people come together to support one another, extending their generosity to help eradicate hunger. By operating solely on public cooperation and without any reliance on government assistance or financial donations, we aim to foster a sense of collective responsibility and empower individuals to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. As we continue to expand our reach, we remain committed to upholding the principles of empathy, dignity, and equality, ensuring that our efforts are sustainable and impactful. Together, we can transform the lives of millions by embracing the belief that feeding the hungry is an act of serving humanity.
