Man Serving Food To 1,000 People In A Day Sets World Record at Hyderabad
Make India Great Again!
Gowtham Kumar achieved the target on Sunday after he served food to more than 1,000 people at three different places.
HYDERABAD:
Gowtham Kumar, founder of Hyderabad-based NGO ''Serve Needy'', got himself included into Universal Book of Records for serving food to more than 1,000 people in a single day.
Mr Kumar achieved the target on Sunday after he served food to more than 1,000 people at three different places. First, he has served food at Gandhi Hospital, then at Rajendra Nagar and finally at Amma Nanna orphanage home in Chowtuppal.
The award was presented by Universal Book of Records India representative KV Ramana Rao and Telangana representative TM Srilatha.
Talking to ANI, Mr. Kumar said, "I started Serve Needy organization in 2014 and now we have around 140 volunteers. We have been doing these types of social activities since 2014. But today, I have served food to more than 1,000 people single-handedly. So, it was a world record."
"Universal Book of Records has given me the certificate for the same. My organization's main motto is ''No one deserves to die like an orphan when our organization is there''. We are expanding our organization so that no one will die in hunger. We are expecting help from others and the government to help more people,"
Today we are in the news for reasons such as corruption, poverty, pollution, unemployment, and inequality, etc. One of the main reasons behind our fall could be that India failed to preserve its possessions be it culture, people, technology marvel or resources. Why do we prefer western clothes or rock music or overseas cuisine? Why do our brightest minds migrate to foreign countries and contribute to their economy? Why are our inventions sold to foreign corporates who are in turn selling them to the world under their name? Why do we buy MNC products and let them take our money weakening our economy? Can this all be changed? Can Bharat be great again?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Mother India has 250 crore arms, 200 crores of those arms are younger than 35. It’s the youth of India who can help us fulfill our potential.” Fortunately, some of them have already initiated the process of bringing about change. We present the inspiring stories of three such unsung heroes.

Left high-paying corporate job to serve the poor and the homeless
“We all are human beings. We are alike. Then how can you let some people on the streets to die? Why should anyone be denied food, love and care? I will not let anyone leave the world anonymously. Those who have nobody to call as their own, Serve Needy will be their family,” says 30-year-old social entrepreneur Goutham Kumar from Hyderabad.
Goutham’s NGO ‘Serve Needy Voluntary Organization and Orphanage Home’ is a professional organization with 6 full-time members and more than 30 volunteers. Since 2011, it has given secure homes to 22 children rescued from human trafficking and slums; 80 people received dignified last rites, 50 homeless old people were admitted to old age homes and every day more than 1000 people across Hyderabad city are given food free of cost but full of harmony. “I cannot let anyone sleep on an empty stomach. Pain and agony have spread in our country like a deadly disease. It needs to be cured. Instead of playing a blame game with government and politicians I thought to check on my contribution percentage in resolving national problems. Therefore, to work professionally and not as a weekend hobby enthusiast, I resigned from Expedia and started this organization,” he shares.
