20007. Jaipur’s Unique Kitchen Makes Thousands of Nutritious Meals for Dogs at Just Rs 5
- Bejubano Ki Rasoi, an initiative by Jaipur-based Gajraj Singh Kachhawa, feeds thousands of stray dogs with freshly cooked meals at Rs 5. Most of the street dogs are fed by small restaurants and cafes that usually give left-over food to the dogs.
- On a cold winter morning, Gajraj Singh Kachhawa, a resident of Jaipur sat at a tea stall sipping on some hot sugary tea. Just as he was about to leave, a man walked up to the stall, purchased a packet of biscuits and fed a street dog. Gajraj stood by watching this. He walked up to the man and asked him why he was giving the dog biscuits laden with sugar and wheat, which are both considered bad for dogs. Gajraj even urged the man to consider giving the dog milk or even better, some curd. “The only thing I will get for Rs 5 is this packet of biscuits,” the man replied before walking away. This thought stuck with Gajraj, who went on to establish Bejubano Ki Rasoi (Kitchen For The Voiceless), where a pre-packed nutritious meal for a dog costs all of Rs 5.
- Gajraj says, “With the lockdown, none of these smaller establishments were working which meant no food for the dogs. During this period I was feeding over 600 dogs regularly.”
- The 27-year-old, who is an entrepreneur and digital marketer, owns a club in Jaipur from where Bejubano Ki Rasoi functions. Each precooked meal, which consists of 400 gm of food, has paneer, soybean, rice and eggs along with multivitamin medicines for dogs.
