A Hunger Free Bharat Initiative · Adi Bodh Foundation

Every Run
Feeds Bharat

हर रन, किसी की थाली। हर चौका, किसी की मुस्कान।

Tonight, a child sleeps hungry. This October, a batsman bats for her.
Every run = 10 meals. That's the whole idea.

The game above. The giving below.
Why This League Exists

Cricket Didn't Need Another League.
Hunger Needed One.

Most tournaments count runs. We count what runs can do.

The Game Is the Giving

No collection boxes. Just cricket. Every run becomes 10 hot meals, delivered by Hunger Free Bharat.

Ten Teams, One Nation

Army. Police. Pilots. Press. Creators, corporates, the transgender community, and India's food brands — one pitch, one cause.

Proof, Not Promises

Every meal is counted, photographed, and reported. Generosity deserves receipts.
