About 61 million children in India grow inadequately due to chronic under nutrition, 68% of all under nourished children in India are girls. More than half of the children in India are Malnourished which also results in poor performance in school. Indians dismal performance on hunger is directly linked to the high level of child undernourishment. Over one in every five children in India is “wasted” (low weight for the height) In the 2019. Global Hunger Index, India ranks 102 out of 117 qualifying countries, with a score of 30.3, India suffers from a level of hunger that is serious.

T.E.A.S. Tarai Environment Awareness Samiti NGO not for profit organization initiative AANAPURNA for serving community with the donated food including grain and packaged food as well as funds for sponsored meals or breakfasts and make it available to people who are hungry or lack of nutritional food.

• Annapurna is a community center that will be established by TEAS to serve as a platform and place to contribute and assist the underprivileged group. An empty stomach forces street children to shift glue, which helps them to beat hunger pangs. No stability, no hope, no food. We at TEAS saw an opportunity to help with our AANUPURNA initiative help to feed hunger. This initiative is to end child labor, malnourishment in children to stop child labor/ begging on street with adequate nutrition and food supply through our food programs. The initiative also aims to sensitize the community on the need of proper nutrition, influence of nutrition on child’s physical and mental growth and development. Let’s all come together to contribute our share in feeding little stomach to that no one should sleep hungry. AANAPURNA runs feeding programs for homeless shelters, charitable hospitals, underprivileged children and needy.
                           

Taking care of child’s growth is one of the most important aspect for any kind of development, ensuring their healthier growth. But the current situation in India shows, that we have constantly failed to provide the most basic care to our children, providing healthy meals to them results in started growth, malnourishment etc.

 if we closely look at global hunger Index it's composition shows 3dimensions and 4 indicators first dimensions is inadequate food supply, secondly child mortality and third is child undernutrition with indicators undernourishment, under- five mortality rate, washing and stunning respectively. Hundreds of school going children suffer from hidden hunger i.e. lack of proper nutrition. Majority of hunger population in India are labourer of homeless with hardly any money to afford a decent meal.
