The Origin

Seva Kitchen was conceived in 2014 by Khushroo Poacha, a railway employee whose mother was admitted in hospital for brain surgery at the time. Standing at a tea stall near the Central India Institute of Medical Science (CIIMS), Khushroo noticed over that period, that there were many people who had come from far-flung rural areas to visit a city hospital for treatment.

Our Initiatives

Food Seva in Hospitals

We live in a smart generation and Seva Kitchen was not to be left behind. Our new initiative is proof of that. A dream of several years has finally come to fruition - with the power of technology we can now reach out to far more needy individuals than we had ever imagined possible. And we want to take you along on that journey, inviting you to continue supporting us. Using a QR code generated token system, Seva Kitchen is mobilizing hospital canteens to offer a free, donated meal to any individual who needs it. Read More

Neki Ka Pitara

Neki Ka Pitara is a fridge of kindness, installed by Seva Kitchen in hospitals, Cancer Hospices and Schools for underprivileged children. These fridges are stocked with nutritious food and drinks that are free for needy patients and their families and co-managed by a social worker. Every pitara is under the responsibility of a dedicated group of donors and a group administrator who keep the fridge stocked 365 days a year. One can fill up the fridge with items like AmulKool, AmulLassi, Soya milk, Juices, Bread, Bunsetc. You can fill up the Pitara via any e-tailer or a local Vendor or you can go personally to fill it up.

The Blessing of a Seva Kitchen Food Kit

Living with Cancer is an arduous journey from detection of the disease, through its treatment, recovery, re-occurrence, re-treatment, end-of-life stage and death. If one has a supportive family and a palliative team by one's side, this journey can be less painful, less arduous. But how can one survive if one is not able to earn? Imagine a daily-wage earner, who loads and unloads lorries for a living, is down with Cancer or with a life-limiting disease. Imagine his children are school-going and his wife uneducated; someone who never ever stepped out to earn. Read More


How Seva Kitchen Works

Seva Kitchen does not have a bank account nor do we or our volunteers accept money. We run campaigns on crowdsourcing websites like Milaapwhere donors pay forward for meals, grocery kits, milk and juices etc. The amount raised through the campaigns are directly paid to vendors who deliver the material required to the designated Seva Locations where Seva is given to needy children, Patients and relatives of patients in Hospitals.
