Dev Goswami was born in a small village in Haryana. He belonged to a poor family and he started working in his school days earning 50-60 rupees per month. When Dev was 18-year-old, he found himself at a railway station without money and he hadn't eaten for 2 days. He asked someone for a puri at a stall and the person gave it to him. He then asked for one more but then the person got angry and abused and shouted at Dev. This experience deeply hurt Dev and he decided that he will one day provide food to as many hungry people as possible.
In 1978, he started working as a truck driver. He was moved by the sight of the homeless and hungry people who he saw on the roads while he drove his truck. He always remembered his own struggle with hunger. He decided that he stop his truck and will provide food to whoever he finds helpless and hungry on the roads.
