It’s ironic that a country that boasts such a wide array of delicious food, is also home to a quarter of world’s most undernourished. While for many of us splurging on a burger or two, or a pizza for lunch or even a bottle fizz isn’t something we think about, for many others scrounging enough for one square meal a day is a tough task.

This Independence Day, we have joined the Robin Hood Army and Uber to launch #Mission100k. #Mission100k is a war which Indian and Pakistani students are fighting together against hunger. The campaign aims to unite students to rally together and serve food to 100,000 homeless countrymen on both sides of the border.
