NEW DELHI: The country's G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant on Wednesday called for greater private sector participation to ensure "hunger free" India, saying the government alone cannot


tackle the challenge. Speaking at the launch of Malabar Group's expanded corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, Kant praised the jewellery company's "The Hunger


Free World" project, which aims to distribute 70,000 daily meals to underprivileged people in fiscal 2025-26. "If there are more groups like Malabar Group, we are able to transform


the world. It requires continued collaboration between government, civil society, private sector and individuals," said Kant, former CEO of government think tank NITI Aayog. Around 119


million people in India remain undernourished, with women and children bearing the heaviest burden, he said. The government provides free rations to 800 million people through distribution


centres, but ensuring nutritious food remains crucial. "It is not just about providing food, it is important to ensure nutritious food," Kant said. "It is also very important


that private sector takes over this responsibility at the local level."
