New Delhi, November 17 2025: Feeding India celebrated Children’s Day by distributing toys, games and educational materials to more than one lakh children across the country. The initiative covered over 500 schools and learning centres in 150 cities, supported by more than 500 volunteers who delivered curated activity boxes to children from underserved communities.

The organisation collaborated with several brands, including Mattel, Mirada, Smartivity, Skillmatics and Imagimake, to provide a range of items designed to encourage creativity, learning and play. These included Barbie® dolls, UNO® cards, puzzles, colouring books, plush toys and DIY kits.

A Feeding India spokesperson said, “Every child deserves to experience the simple joy of play and the wonder of learning. This Children's Day became a milestone for us and over one lakh children as a day when they unboxed not just gifts, but tools for imagination and growth.”

The celebration extended to schools and centres under Feeding India’s Daily Feeding Program, which provides nutritious meals to more than 1.5 lakh children each day. By integrating nutrition with developmental opportunities, the organisation aims to support holistic child welfare.
