Go Dharmic aims to feed at least a million Indian impacted by business and supply disruptions caused by Covid-19 pandemic. Go Dharmic, a volunteer organisation, started in the UK by Hemal Randerwala, has already fed thousands of elderlies, homeless, orphans and needy in the UK and is now feeding the poorest across India.

Go Dharmic started the campaign in the UK where the volunteers, including the founder Hemal Randerwala fed the elderly, underprivileged & NHS Hospitals. The organisation also extended support to desperate Indian students in the UK. After the UK, Go Dharmic started the movement in India barely two weeks ago and already fed close to 1,50,000 people in 17 locations in India. Locations such as Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur, Surat, Mohali, Dehradun and West Godavari have seen immense response in terms of volunteer participation and donations.

Celebrities from across the faculties – sports, movies, businesses, etc. – are coming forward to lend support to activities undertaken by Go Dharmic. The movement now has support from celebrities such as Kapil Sharma (star comedian), Arjun Rampal (Bollywood star), Krishna Das (singer), Ashmit Patel and cricketers/sports-stars Harbhajan Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Monty Panesar, Devon Malcom, and other public figures are helping Go Dharmic to reach the target of feeding one million people across India.

Endorsing Go Dharmic’s efforts, star comedian Kapil Sharma appealed to people from all walks of life to be part of the noble cause. In a video message, Kapil Sharma said:

“In India, they [Go Dharmic] are working in Mumbai, Punjab and other places. They are helping the destitute, orphans, homeless and those who are struggling to eat. You can also be a part of the good work Go Dharmic is doing.”

Go Dharmic delivers dry ration kits containing rice, lentils, spices, cooking oil and other essential food items that can serve a small family for a few days. The activity is funded through donations and executed by volunteers who follow the best practice of hygiene and sanitation for packing and delivering the ration packets to the needy, ensuring no spread of Covid-19.
