Press Coverage of 'Khadya Suraksha Diwas'

Initiatives of the media team on 'Khadya Suraksha Diwas'

Paschim Banga Khet Majoor Samity commemorated our cherished 15^th August as the ‘Food Security Day or Khadya Suraksha Diwas’ to highlight the exclusion of a substantial number of vulnerable households from the Public Distribution System. Our media team in association with the district units collected numerous photographs and videos on the proceedings of that day. On 15th August, 2020 periodic briefings were provided by our district units to the media team and a press release was sent by the secretariat at the end of the day. Some of the links highlighting the people’s participation in the programme have been shared below:

Our initiatives to engage with the media houses help us in reaching out to a large network of our well-wishers nationally as well as internationally and also to disseminate information about our work and struggles. We are indebted to all of our media partners for their untiring efforts to stand shoulder to shoulder with our members, often from the most marginalized sections of the population.
