Our heartfelt respects to Smt. Kanchan Bai Ji, who sacrificed her own life to save 20 children at an Anganwadi in Ranpur village from a swarm of bees. She is the epitome of love and courage and an example for all of us. She has played a great role in the lives of the children in the village by cooking midday meals for them every day with motherly care.
We join the nation in saluting her invaluable service to children till her last breath. Her selflessness and bravery will never be forgotten.
No more stress over the next meal. Through World Food Movement feeding program, students can now enjoy daily mid-day meals to stay nourished and focused.
