PCER > Community Service Day > World Food Day and Eradication of Poverty – Fistful of Grains 2025

On 25th October 2025, MES’s Pillai College of Education and Research (Autonomous), Chembur, in collaboration with Soroptimist International Bombay Chembur (SIBC), organized the community initiative ‘Fistful of Grains’ to mark World Food Day and the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Students, faculty, and well-wishers donated rice, sugar, and dals, collecting nearly 100 kilograms of grains. These were distributed to over 100 underprivileged families around Chembur. The initiative fostered empathy, teamwork, and social responsibility, highlighting the power of sharing for a hunger-free society.
