Raunak Singh
Cuttack, Odisha-based selfless humanitarian and Corona Warrior Award winner, Raunak Singh has been consistently working with Sikh Aid, to provide food to home quarantine Covid patients in Cuttack.
The coronavirus pandemic has brought some unique problems every single day. One such problem faced by most home quarantined patients is accessibility to food. Despite having sociable neighbors and relatives, most of them turn away from helping quarantined Covid patients. Seeing this issue rising more than ever in his hometown, Cuttack, Raunak, and his NGO, Sikh Aid have taken a step ahead to help them meet their daily food and nutritional requirements.
Raunak Singh has been actively providing help to both rural and urban home quarantine Covid patients in Cuttack and nearby areas in Odisha. From providing food to home quarantine Covid patients to poor kids free of cost, he has been making stringent efforts to fight Covid and child malnutrition to eradicate the seriousness of the situation.
His dedicated efforts towards eradicating Covid and its ill effects on Covid stricken patients make him an exemplary persona. It definitely won't be wrong to refer to him as India's Rising Corona Warrior for this reason. His nationally recognized NGO, Sikh Aid, has also been distributing medicines, sanitizers, masks, ration kits, and financial aids to the people in Cuttack and its nearby areas in Odisha. They also supply oxygen cylinders as well as concentrators to lighten the intensity of the situation all over India. With a priority focus on providing food to the home quarantine Covid patients in Cuttack and migrant workers in need.
Although Raunak Singh has been helping people since a quite younger age, he came up with the idea of launching his own non-profit organization amidst the surge of the Covid pandemic. His Herculean efforts amidst the second wave of the pandemic have helped him emerge as a Messiah ever ready to save thousands of lives of Indians at a time.
As per the recent Global Hunger Index 2021 statistics, India is presently in the 101st position amongst a total of 116 positions. The positioning has slipped from 94th position in 2021 to 101st position now. This clearly explains why we need more people like Raunak Singh and organizations like Sikh Aid to help overcome the death toll that the coronavirus pandemic has splurged on the Indians overall.
His organization, the Sikh Aid, has been founded on the principles, "Naam Japo, Kirat Karo, Vandh Chakko" which inspire Sikh people all across the globe. "Naam Japo" principle means to meditate the name of God, "Kirat Karo" means to earn a dedicated, pure, and honest living, and "Vandh Chakko" means to share what you have and also to consume it together.
Apart from serving free food to home quarantine patients, Raunak Singh & His NGO has also been helping the marginalized Indian sections of society, working to uplift the needy from the ground level, empowering women, providing education aid to children, and much more.
