Panchkula, September 13
Purushottam Das Rungta Charitable Trust organised its 182nd weekly ‘Ann Bhandara’, or Community Kitchen, at Industrial Area Phase-1, Panchkula with great reverence and service spirit.
On this occasion, Trust founder Amitabh Rungta said, “By organising or helping in putting up an ‘Ann Bhandara’, one shows the spirit of service and philanthropy.” In Hinduism, donating food to the needy is considered sacrosanct . It is said in the scriptures – “Annam Brahmaeti” i.e. food is the form of Brahma Himself. He said that the person who gives food to the underprivileged, actually serves God.
A large number of people participated in the ‘Bhandara’ and consumed food. The volunteers of the Trust played an important role in making the ‘Bhandara’ a success.
