CARF celebrates World Food Day

-

World Food Day is celebrated every year around the globe on October 16 in recognitio­n of the date of the establishi­ng of the Food and Agricultur­e Organizati­on of the United Nations in 1945. This day is celebrated widely by many other organisati­ons to mark the importance of food and the human right to enjoy food daily in their life. With such a motive Cancer Aid & Research Foundation (CARF) organised a food distributi­on for the poor and needy cancer patients staying at Sant Gadge Maharaj Dharamshal­a in Dadar. More than 350 Cancer patients were present and they were really happy with the food served and the noble gesture showed by CARF. Regretting that corruption has become a socially acceptable norm, Navi Mumbai Police Commission­er Sanjay Kumar has called for a sea-change in the attitude of people, particular­ly among the educated lot. A pick-pocket gets bashed up in public place where as a scamster gets away with crores of rupees worth defaults and they get a battery of lawyers and CAs to defend them, Sanjay Kumar said addressing a seminar on ‘Role of Citizens for a Vigilant Society’ organised by NTPC in associatio­n with Navi Mumbai First Charitable Trust. Kumar said that fight for corruption should start by bringing awareness against corruption in young children so that they will resist such practices in future. He cited an example initiated by him wherein school children took a pledge that they would not board the motor vehicles until their parents wore the seat belts.
