On the occasion of the 5
th anniversary celebration of ‘Art of Giving’
on Thursday, many people took part in feeding the underprivileged. Art of Giving (AOG) – a philosophy of life to spread the peace and happiness among people in society - was founded five years ago by Prof. Achyuta Samanta, an eminent educationist, social activist, social reformer and founder of KIIT & KISS. The theme of this year’s celebration was ‘Pyaar Bhara Pack’ – or feeding with love – standing on the premises of ‘People’s Contribution, People’s Participation’. Mass arrangement for feeding the underprivileged by people with a generous heart was the highlight of the event.
In
Odisha, 35 lakh people were fed at 6,500 centres, covering 4,000 panchayats, all block headquarters, NACs and municipalities. Mass lunches were held in over 300 centres in the city, including eight mega venues.
