India will have zero hunger before 2047, says mid-day meal pioneer

India would become hunger-free much before its targeted year of 2047, said Chanchalapathi Dasa, co-founder of The Akshaya Patra Foundation, citing the significant strides made in this area by the world's most populous country. Dasa was in the United States recently to participate in a UN event in New York to commemorate the Foundation's milestone of serving 4 billion meals.
