How a Delhi Man Feeds 250 People Daily Without Grants or Staff

Nestled in the bustling streets of Mayapuri, Delhi, Sanjay Dodrajka-a chartered accountant by trade but a quiet revolutionary by heart-dismantles the barriers of charity with his 'Food With Dignity' initiative. Amid a world racing towards profits and prominence, Sanjay's venture serves hot meals to about 250 people daily for a mere Rs 10, offering not just sustenance but empowerment to those accustomed to shadowy corners of anonymity. "Rs 10 may not seem like much, but paying for your food gives you self-respect," Sanjay believes, threading dignity through each plate with the help of local women, who find flexible work opportunities through this venture. Inspired by uncelebrated heroes in Shimla and Noida quietly serving without a spotlight, Sanjay's story reveals the paradox of abundance within simplicity and the profound impact of humility. The themes of dignity, empowerment, and quiet service underline his narrative-not as a business, but a responsibility weaved with trust, heart, and community.
