# PROJECT INTRODUCTION & ASSESSMENT

## Need of the Hour

### Hunger is not a new word to be christened again. Since the civilization began, this cause is persistently running with us. But then it was the non availability of food. Now it is our greed to stock more and more for personal use. This has resulted in a global problem that is “HUNGER”.

### Nutritious food is the basic fundamental right of every individual living in this cosmos. But unfortunately every one is not so fortunate to have meals as and when he/she feels hungry. Millions of our brethren do not get food to fill their stomach. Cast aside the talk about the nutritious food. The bite of the hunger scratches them to such an extent that sometimes they are forced either to be killed for no crime or to indulge in some felony which can afford them purchasing capacity. This is the present scenario existing with us. Yet we call ourselves cultured and civilized? This is a curse to the civilized world and it may cast its omen some day. These all are because of the unequal distribution of food and money.

### This grim reality caught the attention of our team and we decided to do a project for this cause so that we can attract the attention of the big global leaders and the self reliant people who have the capacity to extend support on the large scale to wipe it out from the cosmic scenario. We know this may prove to be a cry in the wilderness, but, may be, our little effort for our suffering brethren at least shall be of moral support that there are school children who are deeply concerned with their pains. I hope our little effort will not go unrewarded and it will not be a burning of camphor which leaves no substance at the end.

## Why a project on Hunger?

### Since time immemorial, hunger has been a driving force for all living beings. But now it has taken the shape of a monster, it does not mean this monster cannot be killed. We can wipe it out but sheer will power of the global leaders is an urgent need of the hour to attend to it immediately lest it should engulf the very spirit of mankind.

### The honest agony of the hungry men, women and children cannot be accurately understood by a man who is richly fed. It is something that can be felt only by those who suffer. Have you ever peeped into the eyes of a dying child who has acutely suffered the hunger and is forced to die? I hope ‘never’. It’s like a brute’s bite. Its barbiturate is million times deadly than the bite of a rattler. A rattler’s bite kills the victim within few minutes. But Hunger’s bite kills the victim in steps, slowly and painfully. The whole surrounding feels it but they find helpless. Is it not a curse to the whole ‘Humanity’ in this 21st century? They die not because there is the scarcity of food. They die because there is no proper distribution of food. They die because the ‘Haves’ rule over the poor. They die because the greed of the rich accumulates everyday which never ends at a length.

### This is the present scenario existing with us. This curse can be eradicated from the global scene but sheer will power of the big global leaders is the urgent need of hour. It needs to be attended immediately lest it should engulf the basic instinct of mankind.

## Remember before you work

Those who work for work sake, their works are hardly noticed. But those who work with passion, their strengths are recognized and given weightage. Extraordinary people do not do anything extraordinary; they do a simple thing extraordinarily. That's what makes them different from the common multitude. Hope to see you all presenting your matters extraordinarily. You know, Sri Ram Sharma Acharya, the founder of Gayatri Tirtha Haridwar says, "Those who put emotions in their tasks assigned, whatever it may be, are the best kind of people and they are bound to outshine others since their soul is associated with them." Do pour out the best of your knowledge, skill and creativity in it and see the difference it brings.
