A teacher is on a mission to eradicate hunger and save lives.

IT WAS THE SUMMER of 2015. Eight-year-old Srideep’s birthday party had just ended. The boy’s father, Chandra Sekhar Kundu, a computer science teacher at Asansol Engineering College, who had stepped out to get rid of the trash, was singed by an image of hunger. “After dumping the garbage bag with leftovers I saw two children scavenging for food in a dumpster. It was midnight and I had no means to offer them anything,” Kundu says.

He decided to get to work the next day, starting at his college, involving students. Together they made a film on food wastage to reduce it on campus and raise awareness.
