Beat the Hunger

Beat the hunger was a quarter long project that was conducted under Community Service in the month of march-April-May. The project aimed at increasing sensitivity towards the stray animals and to promote their care and health in the society. We aimed at feeding 800+ dogs across India and this has been the largest Pan India dog feeding event our club has ever witnessed. Overall, we were able to complete the target we hoped for and got excellent response from the volunteers. The event was conducted in 3 phases and was successfully executed in the cities : Mumbai , Vadodara, Ahmedabad  , Mangalore , Delhi as well as Jabalpur. It was one of the most successful events we conducted in this term.
