Under this head we have two kinds of food distribution programme
The foundation community kitchen, which serves meals to all free of charge, regardless of religion, caste, gender, economic status, or ethnicity. People sit on the floor and eat together, and the kitchen is maintained and serviced by NCRIB community, volunteers. The meals served at a langar are always vegetarian. The concept of Langar is to provide everyone in need of food, irrespective of their caste, class, religion and gender, is always welcome as the guest.
The roots of such community kitchen and volunteer-run charitable feeding is very old in Indian tradition; for example – Hindu temples of the Gupta Empire era had attached kitchen and almshouse called dharma-shala or dharma-sattra to feed the travelers and poor for free, or whatever donation they may leave. These community kitchens and rest houses are evidenced in epigraphical evidence, and in some cases referred to as satram (for example, Annasya Satram), choultry, or chathram in parts of India. In fact, Sikh historian Kapur Singh refers Langar as an Aryan institution. And the foundation try to keep it up for the society.
