Driven by this unwavering commitment, IHA Foundation introduced the concept of Food on Wheels during the challenging days of the pandemic—a lifeline for the needy and underprivileged when they needed it most. What began as a heartfelt response to a crisis has now evolved into a passionate mission, deeply rooted in compassion and selfless service. Inspired by the timeless principles of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, this initiative has become a beacon of hope, delivering nourishment and dignity to countless souls across the city, one meal at a time. <br><br> As we commemorated the 555th Birth Anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, IHA Foundation undertook a profoundly significant initiative as a humble tribute to this historic occasion. With a pledge to serve 5,500 meals over the course of a week leading up to the Prakash Purab, the Foundation embraced the spirit of Langar Seva—a tradition of selfless service and communal meal established by Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji himself. This sacred tradition, which began humbly with just 20 rupees, has transcended centuries, feeding countless individuals across the globe, irrespective of caste, creed, or faith. Fittingly, our pledge to serve meals was both a tribute to the first Guru of the Sikhs and a continuation of his revolutionary legacy. <br><br> Through the tireless efforts of our dedicated volunteers, generous donors, and supportive well- wishers, we not only fulfilled this pledge but surpassed it, serving 5,623 meals to the hungry and needy across Kolkata. Meals were distributed outside hospitals and railway stations, providing solace and sustenance to patient families, caregivers, daily wage workers, and others in need. To complement these efforts, fruits were distributed to patients offering nourishment and a heartfelt gesture of warmth and compassion. <br><br> “This initiative was deeply significant, connecting us to the spiritual and social legacy of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. His teachings—best captured in the sacred words “Awal Allah Noor Upaya, Kudrat Ke Sab Bande”—remind us that all of humanity is one, created from the same divine light. Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s revolutionary concept of Langar challenged societal hierarchies and asserted the fundamental equality of all human beings. Today, this tradition feeds millions daily, transcending barriers of religion, nationality, and status. It inspires us to integrate the values of Langar and Seva—selfless service and sharing—into our way of life.”, said Satnam Singh Ahluwalia, Chairman IHA Foundation. <br><br> The significance of this initiative is further amplified when viewed in the context of IHA Foundation’s ongoing journey. Since April 2020, we have completed the monumental milestone of serving more than 50 lakh meals, standing as a testament to the power of collective compassion. Additionally, we have been tirelessly supporting senior citizens by providing monthly ration packets, ensuring their dignity and sustenance during challenging times. Looking ahead, we are driven by a mission to expand our reach and impact. With a vision of creating a Hunger-Free Kolkata, Hunger-Free India, and Hunger-Free World, we are reorganizing and inviting more individuals, organizations, and communities to join us in this sacred endeavor. Together, we can amplify the spirit of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings, ensuring that no one sleeps hungry and every soul feels the warmth of shared humanity. "In today’s times, as the world grapples with inequality, division, and despair, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s timeless message shines brighter than ever: no one should go hungry or feel excluded. On the 555th Birth Anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, we didn’t just serve meals; we shared love, dignity, and hope. Every smile we witnessed was a testament to the Guru’s vision—a world where humanity stands united beyond divisions. This isn’t just service; it’s our way of keeping the Guru’s light alive in every heart we touch,” said Satnam Singh Ahluwalia, Chairman, IHA Foundation. <br><br> Further Satnam Singh Ahluwalia, Chairman, IHA Foundation added “As we reflect on this sacred occasion, we at IHA Foundation reaffirm our commitment to service, compassion, and equality. Inspired by the Guru who showed us the way, we pledge to continue this journey, striving to build a world where no one goes hungry, and every person is embraced with love and respect. May the light of Guru Nanak Dev Ji guide us all in creating a brighter, more inclusive future.” </div> </div> </div> <div class="row mt-30"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="">  <h4 class="mb-15">Photo Gallery </h4> </div> </div> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 15px;" class="row"> <div class="col-md-4 mb-30"> <div class="box7"> <img src="https://ihafoundation.in/public/frontend/images/events/1 (16)/1.jpg" width="100%" alt=""> <div class="box-content">  <ul class="icon"> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/public/frontend/images/events/1 (16)/1.jpg" data-lightbox="image-2" data-title="" class="fa fa-search"></a></li>  </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-4 mb-30"> <div class="box7"> <img src="https://ihafoundation.in/public/frontend/images/events/1 (16)/2.jpg" width="100%" alt=""> <div class="box-content">  <ul class="icon"> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/public/frontend/images/events/1 (16)/2.jpg" data-lightbox="image-2" data-title="" class="fa fa-search"></a></li>  </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-4 mb-30"> <div class="box7"> <img src="https://ihafoundation.in/public/frontend/images/events/1 (16)/3.jpg" width="100%" alt=""> <div class="box-content">  <ul class="icon"> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/public/frontend/images/events/1 (16)/3.jpg" data-lightbox="image-2" data-title="" class="fa fa-search"></a></li>  </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-4 mb-30"> <div class="box7"> <img src="https://ihafoundation.in/public/frontend/images/events/1 (17)/4.jpg" width="100%" alt=""> <div class="box-content">  <ul class="icon"> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/public/frontend/images/events/1 (17)/4.jpg" data-lightbox="image-2" data-title="" class="fa fa-search"></a></li>  </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="footer-box"> <div class="footer-box-title"> <h5>About Us</h5> </div> <div class="footer-box-body"> <p>Our mission is to transform, alleviate, educate, nutrify and protect the lives of underprivileged, individuals and marginalised people of the society impacted by disasters, natural, man-made or by society. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="footer-box"> <div class="footer-box-title"> <h5>Events</h5> </div> <div class="footer-box-body"> <ul> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/events/BHOOKH-SE-AZAADI%E2%80%93FREEDOM-FROM-HUNGER">Bhookh Se Azaadi – Freedom From Hunger</a></li> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/events/EXPRESSION-OF-NATIONAL-SOLIDARITY-AND-CELEBRATION-OF-75-YEARS-OF-INDEPENDENCE">75 Years of Independence</a></li> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/events/INTERNATIONAL-FRIENDSHIP-DAY">International Friendship Day</a></li>   </ul> <center><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/events"><strong>View All</strong></a></center> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="footer-box"> <div class="footer-box-title"> <h5>Important Links</h5> </div> <div class="footer-box-body"> <ul>     <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/volunteer">Volunteer</a></li> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/terms-and-conditions">Terms and Conditions</a></li> <li><a href="https://ihafoundation.in/return-policy">Return Policy</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="footer-box"> <div class="footer-box-title"> <h5>Contact Details</h5> </div> <div class="footer-box-body"> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Call us : <span class="org-col">+91</span> <a class="org-col" href="tel:9830210059">9830210059</a> / <a class="org-col" href="tel:9830200060">9830200060</a> / <a class="org-col" href="tel:9831199333">9831199333</a></strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>REACH US AT : <span class="org-col"> 81/1 J K Pal Road,<br> New Alipore, D BLOCK EXT,<br> KOLKATA -
