‘Ehsaas Koi Bhooka Na Soye’ (EKBNS) is a new policy initiative of the federal government to eliminate hunger in the country. The initiative is an extension of Ehsaas Langar Policy and it aims to distribute cooked meals at designated delivery points to people in need especially those at risk of or experiencing hunger.
Meals will be delivered free of charge through food truck arrangements. Many of the EKBNS recipients will be the labour class including the elderly, differently abled, labourers, daily wage earners, women and children who cannot access Ehsaas Langar sites in industrial zones and bus stations.
PM inaugurated two Ehsaas food trucks that will serve free cooked food at various points across twin cities, Rawalpindi and Islamabad including public places, slums and hospitals while ensuring utmost dignity and quality. The meals will be cooked, stored and distributed from a
truck kitchen. As per estimates, each food truck will feed around 2000 people daily. Food will
be distributed 7 days a week, 365 days a year, two times a day.
On January 01, 2021 Prime Minister had announced his new year resolution that a project would be executed under Ehsaas this year to make sure that no one goes to bed hungry in the country. In line with instructions of PM, the EKBNS policy initiative has been conceptualized and designed under the umbrella of Ehsaas on fast-track basis in less than two months.
This programme has been designed in a public private partnership mode.
