Reduce food wastage and feed the people who go to sleep on empty stomach every day. Allow people to post the ongoing public events or to initiate an event where interested people can participate.

The problem Jagruti solves

Food security lies in the top 5 global issues. Over 20 crore Indians go to sleep empty-stomach every day. FAO 2019 Report reveals that around 14.5% of the Indian population falls beneath the underfed category. On the other hand, the amount of food wasted in India is estimated to be 68,760,163 tonnes a year. According to a study majority of the food gets wasted by restaurants or religious functions.

India has around 31 lakh NGOs, more than double the number of schools. We are building a mobile application that connects the two vital sectors in reducing food wastage as well as feeding the citizens. The nearest NGOs receive an instant notification whenever anyone updates on food availability. People can even conduct public events and post them on the application asking interested people to participate.emphasized text
