" I am praying to God to give the benefit of provisions like National Food Bill to the poor people."
I am too praying along the same line, dear Richank. But, there is a big BUT. Poor logistics, inadequate storage facility, non-sensitized people who don't know where to go for redress of their grievance, those ever-present middlemen of all colours... the Bill, after it takes the shape of an Act, will have to pass through many a hurdle before it may come to the rescue of the targeted mass.
Yet I see a silver lining in the dark clouds that shroud the 75% target population. Ever-growing infiltration of the media into our lives enlightening us about the social evils , genuine urge to do something for these people by distinguished persons like you and other revered members of CCI and other platforms, - all these and more are perhaps signalling towards a hitherto unseen social upheaval.
CSR gaining importance in our country through legislation, is another shot in the arm for the cause of the underprivileged.
With so many things making a beeline, the future of our poverty-stricken kins can't be as bleak as it is today. That's what I hope, with all sincerity.
