16th October is observed as the ‘World Food Day’ across the globe. TKS encourages its campuses to celebrate this day with full enthusiasm to create awareness among students about food insecurity and hunger. On this day, teachers can enlighten students with the current hunger situation of Pakistan; 43 percent of Pakistan’s population faces food insecurity and of this number, 18 percent of people severely lack access to food (World Food Programme). Teachers can also educate students to reduce food wastage in Islamic perspective.
The main purpose of celebrating this day is to strengthen the solidarity in the struggle against hunger, malnutrition and poverty.
