A revolution of its sort, a pledge to translate the ideals of the Vishalakshi Foundation into action, and a movement to address the issues that plague society, Global Roti Day was an initiative that began in 2022. Since then, it has been instrumental in fostering change in society.
When the event will happen?
Often conducted on the 28th of September, this day marks the birthday of the founder of the Vishalakshi Foundation, Mr. Nilay Agarwal, a staunch believer in service to society. He envisages a day when no soul should sleep on an empty stomach. Global Roti Day is the brainchild of Nilay Agarwal’s vision for a Zero Hunger society that will happen on 20th Oct of this year.
Global Roti Day, also known as the “Walk with Nilay” event, is conducted as a march, involving students from Delhi University and beyond. The event attracts media channels, various NGOs, influencers, and more. Participants walk tirelessly, with hearts dedicated to uplifting the underprivileged, distributing food to the needy along the way, and chanting slogans to capture the public’s attention toward the seriousness of hunger and malnutrition.
Glimpse of Previous years
Last year, we hosted an incredible event with over 5,000 enthusiastic volunteers, all marching with a shared energy aimed at transforming people’s mindsets. We had exciting collaborations with various societies from Delhi University and NGOs that resonated with our noble cause.
Additionally, five influential personalities joined the event to spread a wave of positive influence. The chief guests were Tushar Dedha, the President of DUSU, and Aparajita, the Secretary of DUSU. It was an electrifying gathering.
Walk with Nilay
This year, building on the success of last year’s Global Roti Day, we are back with our one-of-a-kind “Walk with Nilay” event, which is all set to leave an indelible mark on 20th October 2024. The march will commence at Ajmeri Gate and conclude at the Arts Faculty. Once again, it will be graced by esteemed societies and determined volunteers who are committed to mitigating hunger.
In a materialistic society, where people often seek personal gain and enjoyment at the expense of others, creating a noble initiative that garners attention is no small feat. We aspire to find space for our noble cause by creating an enthralling event that will inspire people to realize our relentless commitment to fighting hunger and encourage them to follow a similar path. Collective effort is often the most commendable way to achieve societal welfare. Based on this principle, the Vishalakshi Foundation works to ensure the continued success of Global Roti.
