Like we did in the past to determine prevalence of distress in drought/ famine conditions by opening “test public works”, we should now open free kitchens in all self- selecting areas like urban bastis of the poor and the settlements of the poor in villages, and carry out a quick inquiry of where the migrants and the hungry elsewhere are. That will show us the exacerbated hunger geography levels in the country at this hour. That will also be a pro-active way of feeding the poor by offering them hope of food and solidarity. The hungry are bound to be everywhere and therefore this feeding should be done everywhere. Start in bastis in all urban areas; and start in all rural areas from dry land agricultural areas, upland areas, tribal areas, drought-prone and desert areas. This way, we can cover almost all the hungry people of India, who are nearly 20 crores. The Anganwadi Centres and Anganwadi Workers, with extended working hours, would be the ideal starters to begin this massive counter action. They have a place to call as their own, however rudimentary, and known to every villager and basti dweller of the country. We have to guarantee them all required protection in every possible manner, including enhanced remuneration and a variety of protective equipment and medical supplies, and trained to practise social distancing. And family insurance for each of them.
