In a bid to take care of children from marginalised communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, a trust has been feeding 150 children in Vellore district who are left alone at home, as schools are closed and their parents go in search of work. From last year, we started identifying underprivileged families where children were struggling for food as their parents are unemployed. As schools are closed, they are unable to benefit from the Noon Meal Scheme,” said Ruby Nakka, director of the NGO, who is a physiotherapist who passed out of CMC, Vellore, in 1989. The Trust feeds 150 children in four parts of Vellore - near Karigiri hospital, Suryakulam, a Rajasthani Community in front of VIT University and Sugar Mill.
